Hi All
I've been taking stock of the five closed centre wheels I have for my special. Three appeared OK, one was spoked incorrectly and one had slightly worn wheel nut holes. After a dose of molasses (see another thread) I now find that one of the good wheels has a very rusty (with holes!) rim. I think between them I can get three or four good wheels but I will need to dismantle and rebuild mixing and matching rims and centres.
I'd like to have a go at doing this myself.
I've read the excellent Cornwall Club Technical article which refers to open centre wheels. But mine are closed centre. A second article describes the spoking pattern for closed centre wheels but not the method of doing it.
Does anyone have any recommendations or tips?
Cheers
Howard
