Re: [MGS] Chrome wires

Having just respoked a 36 spoke wheel off my new, old 1969 Penton 
motorcycle I can say that manually re-spoking is a bear.  I did save the 
spokes, wire brushed and painted each one.  But it is therapeutic and 
you get a certain pleasure when the wheel is centered, the rim is round 
and it doesn't wobble. I imagine the shorter spokes and larger number of 
spokes on the auto wheel adds a challenge to the exercise.
