From Turbos to Wheels
« on: June 15, 2013, 07:38:40 PM »
After yesterdays' nice feedback about my Turbos I thought today should be about the wheels, tires and brakes. I will post overnight again, but here is a sample:

RR,

  I may have an extra did wm5 wheel with buchanan 8 ga. stainless spokes laced to a stock drum. Very low usage- just a 1/4 mile at a time.

I have one the same, even down to the slick.. ;D  But it also has the screw holes in the side of the rim to hold the tire as well, was after one without those holes.... ;)

If its just a rim i would be very interested, costs too much to ship the whole wheel. I have a matching DID 2.15 front waiting for a partner... ;)

Hi Cavebear,
Maaaaaaate i'm impressed by your toys :)
If RR is not interested in the complete wheel I may be. Retro feel free to chime in you know the freight.
I'm getting some 21 inch wheels from Cycle X soon so might be able to ease the pain.

Cavebear I'll pm you,   
I'm just trying to get in before Captain Pro stock Greg sees the thread and wets his pants. ;) ;D ;D

Cheers johno

If we're talking about Greg H in the UK he's already bought the best of my NOS pro stock parts.Didn't need the wheel, found one there. RR if you need a drilled disc I have a few.

Nice stuff I'm curious about what happened with those campagnolo five spoke rims they're probably magnesium the seven spokes look like the Magnesium version of Lesters too.... Very nice wheels one and all - I'd love to know more about those blank rims at the back too I would have a use for those alright - damn always late to the party.
