Wheel Restoration Part 1

Hi

Most of the frame, engine and gearbox parts have been restored and have been fitted to the motorcycle.  My attention in the next week or three will be to fully restore the wheels.

The first step in this restoration process is obviously a total dismantling of the wheels.  Here is a photo of the front wheel dismantled.

The rest of the process will be as follows:
  • Sandblast all of the parts;
  • Paint the rim and hub in the desert khaki colour;
  • Install new stainless steel spokes;
  • Fit the brake and axles parts, ensuring that the play on the axle bearings are exactly right;
  • Fit the wheel to the bike.
