Post by: aditup 2234 on April 10, 2009, 11:34 AM: Neil, great job fella.
I could not help but have a little snigger at the error you made, as I have done the same in the past;
Cutting a wheelset down, through the spokes, without removing the freewheel first. They are a right biatch to get off afterwards, without the rim to use as leverage!
Looks like you managed though, well done mate.

Title: Re: pro class wheels refurb
Post by: neiljonarcus on April 10, 2009, 12:00 PM: ad i wanted to stab myself when i was trying to split the freewheel . it was because the sink was full of caustic and i only had 1 tub of it left . the tub that was in the sink and i had bought a tool to split the freewhell but it was 3 days delivery so i just went for it . never again tho it took me and my brother and some old vice nearly half hour to split it :'( :'( :'( :'(

Title: Re: pro class wheels refurb
Post by: Brandy Truffle on April 10, 2009, 06:07 PM: It's been suggested before in jokes but you should think about offering a polishing resto service for those Radsters who either haven't got the patience/ability/kit/time etc - sure you'd get a fair bit of trade mate & get the hobby to pay for the hobby :LolLolLolLol: ???
