Angus73 Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hi Guys, update with rear wheel, oil tank and seat. From original wheel I've taken only rims. Plastic spokes cut off and replaced by steel 0,5mm and "tension nests" made of surgical needle 0,8mm with inner diameter 0,5. They are longer than external part (and spokes too) and pounded into tire to reach centricity and get the same their length. No glue, they stick by them self from both sides of the hub placing the hub exactly in the center. It was: It is: and others Regards 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
