Title: coloured spokes getting them ready they r back
Post by: harris on March 26, 2006, 08:32 PM

i am now on my 3rd set of colouring spokes its cheeper than always shelling out for new
first i get the best ive got laying about not stainless
rub them down with course sand paper
drill a piece of wood ,holes about 1 " apart
then of to stove enamel shop
he uses a light coat of etching primer
then heavy ish down the spoke
lighter near the hub end so paint doesnt get rubbed of as they cross tighter at hub end
hear is the wood and the spokes prepped and ready to go
i will post finished items later in the week when back :daumenhoch:(http://)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/d87/harris15570/Image561.jpg)they are back(http://)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/d87/harris15570/Image575.jpg)(http://)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/d87/harris15570/Image574.jpg)
