Araya 7x can they be respoked? *now with pics*

(1/2) > >>

djgivvinup:
Got a set of Survivor Araya 7x ? rims attached to a pair of fairly nice hubs both covered in muck but underneath in very nice survivor condition....Thing is the spokes are rusted to hell..
They're aren't really buckled at all so do i take the time to remove the rust from every spoke? (there is a lot of rust!) or can i get them relaced with nice shiny new spokes? 

Any help greatly appreciated   :daumenhoch:

heres some pics of the wheels, i gave the front wheel a quick clean as you can see..

Bob_Acid:
yes, go to your local bike shop for a price or check out Stidd's wheel build guide in the tech sticky section and have a go yourself   :daumenhoch:

ron burgundy:
Fit new spokes :daumenhoch:

.. but remember, take the freewheel off before you start chopping the old spokes out.

rarman1:
sure thing,

make a note of lace pattern... 3 or 4 cross.

remove freewheel.

strip the wheels down and measure the spoke lenght.

just take them to a bike shop, buy new spokes and get him to do it.
