Wheels for Belgium Honda part 2

Albert here. Sending a missive from the Wheel building department at The Old Sidevalve Bar deep in Yorkshireshireshire.. Spokes were duly ordered and arrived within a few days of making a call to Hagon Shocks & Wheels. Had to let them know the diameter of the spoke hole in the rim, but the rest of the info relating to CB72 Honda wheels they already had. Daren't confess to having purchased the rims from Lim Tian Chuan at 'Vintage Avenue' in Bangkok. Doubt they would have sold me their top quality stainless spoke sets with nickel plated brass nipples would that information have been divulged. Alloy rims from Hagon, (admittedly Italian Borrani or similar) double money..

 

For the observant ones among you who do not recognise the interior of 'The Old Sidevalve Bar'
Correct !!!! I was given special permission by 'Posh' to bring the wonderfully clean parts indoors last Sunday afternoon.. As storm Dennis blew hurricane strength winds and lashed rain none stop against the kitchen window little did I know as I trued the rim, that 15 miles away in the village of Mytholmroyd things were very wet indeed........water half way up the houses and sheds afloat....

Rear wheel done, just to do a final tightening check then trim the spoke ends.
Front next... will keep you all posted.

Me thinks it's time for a beer, Hey Posh, get ya boots on and pop up the shop for a few cans..
