Wooden rims...

well, yes and no. it just becomes even more important on a rim that is designed to have some give.

mental, i think after re-assessing it truly is an un-necessary purchase, will maybe build some int he future when i am rich and retired

really interested in the concept but thinking about it i could probably get some full carbon clincher rims (low profile) for less and with much much greater performance and less of the stress

will stick to my 1.1's for the moment!

and thanks smallfurry, i am pleased with it, moustache bars arent very aesthetically pleasing but nothing climbs as well as these puppies! bike almost entirely finished

oh and SSSasky, showbikes arent for me, this green bike is intended for long long sunday rides when the weather is good up here in the yorkshire dales
my daily beater is a silly HHSB bike

I notice you've go the same tool kit as murtle.

The burled wood look of these remind me of the interior bits in my Rover

Only finished better

Indeed

haha. hammers rule.

Noticed the hammer straight away. Nice touch having it the in the photo.

Fact is
You cant build an elegent bike with some inelegent hammer usage ;)

My circus / artistic bike has wooden wheels....would consider selling them to you but they're 26".

I do intend to refurb them one day...

you have 26" wood wheels?

yes please! tubular only though?

Ayup Tom, did i tell you i build guitars? I was thinking about experimenting with building some rims. If you want to help me out with a bit of technical input you can have the proceeds. Get back to me on fgleeds.

Sorry to bring this old one back.....

I've just got myself a '50 light blue holdsworth undrilled tornado track frame.

I want to take my time with this one........Really want some wooden rims.

Does anyone know where I can source 27" wooden sprinters?

Seems to be impossible...
