The wheel looks great, the new spokes set it off nicely Paul, I've never done a bike, so I'll be watching to see how it's done!

[scottie3158]

To all who have liked and commented about the wheels thank you very much for the kind words. I thought I would do a SBS on the last wheel, just to show how I went about it and how easy it is. There are other methods but this one in this scale worked for me.

The first thing is to mark out where the spokes are and the angle they are fitted. Then remove a few at a time I normally do about four at a time this gives the hub plenty of support. Next clean up the seam line and remnants of the moulded nipples.



Using a drill bit the size of the nipple to be used, in my case some vinyl tube drill the outer rim using the marks as a guide.



Next using a drill the size of the spoke itself drill the hub. you will notice the holes on the hub are offset to allow the spokes to pass each other. The holes don't need to be deep as long as they provide a positive location.





The vinyl tube was cut at 7mm ish lengths and slid over the new spokes.



now push one end of the wire into the locating hole then slide the nipple down the wire into the hole in the rim until you have enough on the inside of the rim. when happy CA both ends in place.
Just remember to follow the correct direction of the spokes.



When happy snip off the remaining wire. Now repeat until you have worked round the whole wheel.

Sorry if it was long winded but hopefully you can see that all though time consuming it is quite easy if you take your time and get the holes in the right place.


cheers

Offset holes on the hub - I would have missed that. The kit spokes don't pass each other :rolling:
Well done Scottie.
