Title: Mid 80's wheel question
Post by: Dark Diggler on June 10, 2007, 07:43 AM: I am toying with the idea of running some spokes on my Torker2, I currently have ogk gt performer mags on it, the question is, which were the strongest/most suitable wheels around 85/86?
Title: Re: Mid 80's wheel question
Post by: CD17 on June 10, 2007, 08:35 AM: I think Peregrine HP48s or Araya 48s came out around that time.

Some 48 spokes would be the strongest :daumenhoch:

Post by: Flatcap on June 10, 2007, 10:29 AM: Yep....Peregrine 48's are the future!

Still think they're a great wheel 20 years on.

:daumenhoch:

Post by: MartyC on June 10, 2007, 11:20 AM: Although Araya Aero's would be a very good choice too and were very popular on the freestyle front back then if you don;t want to stretch to the Peregrines :daumenhoch:

if i can get a picture my mates from wheel is a custom drill perigrine 48 rim and suzue hub, 97 spoke wheel 8 cross pattern, its insane, reason for odd spoke number is due to valve hole

Title: Re: Mid 80's wheel question
Post by: spinmaster on June 11, 2007, 10:04 PM: lol cheers. I've seen others that are more rounded on the stem bar ends and have a hole either side. mk2s sort of curve up into a point on the stem bar a bit like kneesavers. definitely q's. sorry this has turned into a bit of a q bar thread. lol
Title: Re: Mid 80's wheel question
Post by: rarman1 on June 11, 2007, 10:13 PM: yeah i thought these were very much like kneesavers but with an extra bar in the middle, there going on my 91 master :)

Post by: Gary72 on June 12, 2007, 05:35 PM: The shop i visited in the States when i was there a few weeks ago had a bike with 96 spoke wheels on it, looked the nuts. Also hanging on his wall was a Hoffman Evel Knevel and a Hutch Trickstar f&f he had just got. And some wheels that had the spokes twisted/crossed over, never seen em done like that before, wished I had my camera with me.
