a good few years ago, a kind sole bough a load of new wheels for the polo bikes....however they were all the wrong size...he bought 700c they should be 26"...whether old 26, new 26 or 650 is probably irrelevant as there are no brakes...
Some of the wheels in the photos are 700c, that's because I did manage to get a few of the new wheels into the front forks....if I had them right at the bottom of the fork dropout and did the nuts up super-tight....stlll minimal clearance though and mud collected....
Think we'll have to get some new rears built around old hubs (mosyly 40 hole) and may need to buy some new hubs.....have found 3mm spokes......but if we get enough old second-hand fronts we can just use until f**ked then replace.....
Thanks for the wheel - build help offered...I gurantee you will have seen nothing like the surviving wheels before in you life!
