style='FONT-FAMILY: "Arial",sans-serif; COLOR: black'>The wire wheel specialists
I've known don't bother with the spokes when rebuilding a wheel--e.g. when
replacing a worn center hub--they just cut the old spokes out with a bolt
cutter. It's a labor intensive job, and the spokes are a relatively small
part of the cost.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri",sans-serif; COLOR: #1f497d'>True
enough. Trying to true a wheel that is even mildly flattened or more often
potato chipped seldom succeeds, leaves an unstable wheel because some spokes are
loose and that is unsafe because some spokes are overstressed. I think MWS will
shorten pre-existing high quality butted spokes as needed. So, if the rim is
reasonably circular, perhaps the long-term solution is to relace the wheel with
new spokes.</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style='FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"; COLOR: black'>The
problem with trying to true the old 48 spoke wheels is that the nipples seize on
the spokes after 60 odd years and it is virtually impossible to free up the
threads to save the spokes which are just not available for these really early
wheels .... also the actual rim itself is often a little distorted and
straightening that is very difficult and cannot be achieved by simply adjusting
the spokes. </SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style='FONT-FAMILY: "Comic Sans MS"; COLOR: black'>I
had heard of people deflating the tire and rotating it 90 degrees on the rim
then checking again so I gave that a try... There was no measurable change
although I tried it in all 4 quadrants on the worst wheel ... I suspect that
modern tires are made pretty accurately. </SPAN><SPAN
