The big one on Effra Rd.? WHen closed it looks like a fort. Good luck with that!

Good idea Ed, except I really don't have the funds to go out and buy new chainring & sprocket for one use.

Gorgeous! Sadly I have no money and it's too big for me.

Apart form the obvious hazards to health, why haven't I had a visit from wife and baby?!

I think I answered my own question.

Whoa, yes, dibs! PM following. Cheers Joe!

Ooops, Cambridge.

Anyway, I have big polythene bags frames come in, I just need a wooden frame sized box to stop them balooning out so I don't waste all my solution doing one frame.

Of course

The other option would be to buy some Rigida Sputniks at about £20 each. super tough touring rims. You can get them in 40 and 32. Forget 27" if you can get brake reach, it's a pain to get decent tyres. Fill any massive clearances with some tasty muguards.

Even on 27" the brake drop is 83mm! (From hole in forks to bottom of braking edge).

Believe me, I even have a spare set of 700's that are quite wide for beefy tyres, but it just looks wrong.

Maybe he works for Intel.

In all serioussness... Plywood in large sheets, or MDF, would be ideal for a frame-bath I'm constructing to soak a few rusty frames I have in deruster.

Let me know!

Innit.

Back of spoke card should read:

In loving memory of Paul Roantree

Profits from sale of spoke cards to go to Cancer Research or something.

I am pissing about in PS now but I haven't really used CS4 and it's a bit of an arse isn't it?!

EDIT: Joe already has something, but here's where I was when I got that PM.

Must remember to buy 2 this time as I always lose them in the winter.

I might go down the week before and do an induction. I haven't been to the track since Track Day 4.

hahaha, Yeah EVERYBODY THANK JOE :|

Fuck the spoke card I really need to get on with my work!

I ended up running about 90" but it was cus all I could get at the jumble on the day was a 12t sprocket.

All brakes, and you need drops.

Also I learnt last year that turning up without the propper gear ratio is going to give you a proper headache.

It'd be neat to have this in your flat, yeah! My electricity bills are ridiculous since my little brother got his PS3.

Nope, plan is to bathe it in rust remover, t-cut what's left of the paint and clearcoat. Sort of an experiment to how nice we can make the existing paintwork and heritage of being left to rust for 40 years.

Okay, I may have a 36h hub casing sorted.

So if I buy alloy 27x1-1/4 36h rim at SJS stocks (£20 for the Jetset), and the 32h rim from there too, but at £40.... Man £40!

Still not sure keeping that dynamo hub is worth it, as I can get a whole new wheel for £30 at Simpsons: http://www.simpsoncycles.co.uk/product.php?xProd=1487

Recommendations? I mean I think i should shell out the extra tenner (and whatever wheel-building costs there are if I fudge up my first two builds) and stick with the dynamo hub incase she ever saves up enough for some fancy lights.

I may ask Velocio if he can move this thread to Projects, haha.

May not have to, there's a geezer on ctc offering to swap the hub shells over.

Yeah I saw that at SJS. It's the 40h that's the killer, though!

Hello there!

Right, I have serious issue here I have been racking my brains all day.

I am restoring a quite beautifully made Coventry Eagle ladies bike for my girlfriends first 'London Ride', the hubs and wheels are the source of my torment.

The front is a 32hole Steel 27x1-1/4" Rim laced to a SturmeyArcher dynamo hub (that hopefully still works)

The rear is a 40hole Steel 27x1-1/4" Rim laced to a SturmeyArcher 3Speed hub that works perfectly, however, the rim is buckled.

All of the spokes are rusty and I don't trust them steel rims. Safety is my concern here, I love my lady very much and don't particularly want to contribute to a premature demise.

I want to replace the rims with Alloy ones so that they have braking power in the wet. I also don't like how 700C's look on the bike, even with chunky tyres the clearance is too large. So sticking with 27x1-1/4 is what I'm after. I also don't have the budget to source new hubs.

"But they don't make 40h or 32h alloy rims in that size, James!" I hear you cry.

You are correct, sir/madam. However! The lovely HilaryStone has some 27x1-1/4" rims for sale, that don't have ANY holes.

Before I purchase them (I am extremely tight on money at the moment) I want to know if anybody knows of how I would go about safely putting 40 holes in one, and 32 holes in the other, before I hand them over to a wheelbuilder with my hubs and some new spokes.

Ideally, I'd want someone with experience to do it for me, but if it's going to cost me an arm and a leg, I will consider doing it myself, however I will defo need to borrow some equipment. I have a powerdrill, but it's only ever been used to put up shelves...

I really hope you can help! I have tried to put everything in the OP but if I've missed something obvious let me know.

Skully: if those rims are in alloy, I would love them. It's a build for my girlfriend and she won't ride steel rims even during the summer. I'll give TisWas a PM now.

Bikey, you are a legend! I have no idea how the hell I will drill them, but I guess Hilary/BQ will know.
