Hi All,
After a monumental battle, I finally got all of the spokes out of my
hubs. 75% came out easily, the others required force. They were pretty
solidly corroded in place. I have some reusable spokes, but may as well
go for all new. So, a couple of questions:
Any suggestions for where to source the 80 stainless steel spokes? I
plan on calling Buchanan's this week to see what they've got (nothing
listed specifically for Guzzis on their website), any others to check
with?
Should I use stainless steel nipples as well? I've been told that s.s.
nipples are more likely to seize on the spokes than nickle plated brass.
True?
Lastly, should I use anti-seize on the spokes when I reassemble the
wheels? Just on the area where they go through the hub or on the threads
also?
Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers,
Charlie
