Phil, they are excellent! They were a perfect match to my original 60 spoke
wheels in every respect. I have never had a problem maintaining my whire
wheels for the last 37 years. The originals lasted 29 years and I never
touched them.
The reason I replaced them was that the hub splines were worn. BTW, if you
get new wheels get new hub adaptors also. See my article on the VTR website
(www.vtr.org) for the reasoning on that. Regards.
