Hello chaps,
I'm still in the process of collecting parts, cleaning and rebuilding ... one big item on the todo list is the wheels. Maybe foolishly the spokes where cut to remove and clean / blast / paint the hubs & rims, only to find the spokes are around £2,40 each and I need 144 of them ekkkk... I've found motorbike spokes 8 guage = 4mm (thickness what I currently have) for £10 for qty 36 ... clearly from the motorcycle world.
What guage is the norm ? anyone else using bike spokes ?
I fancy trying spoking them myself,
cheers
Matt
