Motor cycle tyres, part 3


Oops!! As can be seen, the spokes are starting to 'drift'. from the 6 o'clock position round to the 12 o'clock position, we can see how the spokes are starting to 'reach' rather then run in a line direct from the rim to the hub. So this one is an experiecne write off.

Lessons learned?
- get the alignment right! Check, check and recheck.
- everything will dry fit perfectly until you open the glue bottle
- remain aware of scale - this current set is way over thick, which lead to over crowding around the hub, which in turn, lead to the the reach effect.
- be prepared to write parts of a project off, rather then muck about in rescue effort.
and!

- have ample spares!

More as more gets done
