Thanks all
Despite Roger's post I don't think I'll be scrapping my closed centre wheels. I quite like to see the correct period features on a car and it does grate a bit when I see post 1930 wheels on a pre 1930 car (except in a competition mode). Its a bit like seeing Posidrive screws on a Seven (although we're not mentioning the purple upholstery in my RK are we?)
It does seem that closed centre wheels can take quite a bashing (doesn't it Tony?). Thanks Jon for your post. I have also replaced spokes on my RK and found the experience not too painful.
BUT...I would still like to hear from anyone that has actually re-spoked a wheel and what to look out for.
Cheers
Howard
