I just couldn't resist putting in my 2 cents worth on this one.
I have a set of 72 spoke wires and hubs that I obtained on
a trade. I do not know what condition they are in, other
than they could use a paint job. How can I know if the
splines on the wheels and hubs are good enough to use
or if they are not? What can go wrong with a spoke,
other than a little rust. (Unless it is completely broken;
I don't have any that are broken.)
My final question is what is the process for trueing
a spoke wheel? Why is it such a mysterious process
that only a few professionals in the whole world ever
do it? I have heard of people on this list doing
literally every kind of repair imaginable; except for
wire wheels?
