Charlie,
I forgot to mention that I do have spokes, but after having just
moved, and having all my things in boxes in storage, I would not be able
to come up with any with which to help you (to help you with which? -
more on this later). However, I am sure that Mark or someone has spokes
that will work. I just don't think that you need to buy a whole new set
from Buchanon's, or from anywhere else.

p.s I'm not sure whom should be credited with for the example of how to
avoid a dangling participle: I think Winston Churchill was credited with
the expression: "This is something up with which I will not put!".

| 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 |
