in all likelyhood this would be a complete wheel anyway - i'd already resigned myself to a lot of spoke masking!
thanks though, a makeshift tool seems like a cunning plan too..
genius! what a pro.
thanks ;)
see if you want a front brake.. how could you mask the braking surface? i assume that paint isn't the greatest for stopping.
Easier just to keep the rims and buy a track hub and get it laced properly.
they're not particularly nice rims anyway - i would only keep them for convenience.
if a track hub is what's necessarry i might as well go the whole hog.
cheers!
will i have to re-build the wheel (or more realistically, get someone else to do it/buy a new one) to convert it to fixed?
putting my faith in a wheel built by myself does not particularly appeal.
ta!
i always just take one small waterbottle and buy more on the way round.
not as much weight and you get a rest without feeling like you're cheating.
