[QUOTE="john998, post: 34929, member: 289"] Hello David, and thanks for that. The man that built the stainless wheel was I think a better painter than wheel builder. When rebuilt with galvanized spokes the man that did the work was the top man in the area, he did many wheels for the trials boys. Perhaps the damage was already done. Have replaced it with a spare wheel with Boriani alloy rim left over from my racing days. These wheels have done much service without any problems. The only wheels I have built where for the outfit, 15" Akront rims these have been fine so far. Being small diameter they looked easier to build that a 18 or 19", i would think that a push bike wheel would be the most difficult to build. It might be worth other people with stainless rims to inspect them. Regards John. [/QUOTE]
