MT Restorations - Latest Project

[Scanlan]

Really nice attention to detail, puts my effort to shame, love those wheels, had new spokes and rims on my xr after stripping and re painting hubs and it makes such a difference couldn't stretch to it on the MT I'll leave that to the next owner.

Dont worry i know how to do the rims ive done many myself that rear one i would not be happy with due to the spokes been twisted/shaped like a banana on the sprocket side

LOL, don't worry the spokes are perfectly installed. Using an ultra wide angle lens in order to get close to the wheel and still have it all in the picture tends to give a distorted view.

Strange the ones on the disc side look fine

The ones on the sprocket side dont look straight and they are easy to get wrong when you do the spokes up they twist aroung take another look

[Mr Shiney]

Trust me, its a trick of the photography. They were laced by central wheel but I have done enough in my time to know when they are right or wrong. Not to mention the guy who fitted the tyres also builds wheels for a living commented on how good they were....

So long as your happy

Yep!! Mind you looking at the picture I can see exactly what you mean. They do look bent like pretzels!

Fortunately in the flesh they look perfectly normal.
