Got a few more nipples threaded today. Oh Yeah!!! ~Wes~ |
| dsquire:
Wesley I know it's a tedious boring job but a few every day and first thing you know it will be time to put the wheel together. :D :D I keep watching and waiting. Cheers :beer: Don |

The last week or so I've been near death with a particularly nasty Man cold. Today is the first day I've felt like myself. I've spent the last couple hours out in my shop threading nipples. I'm half way there\o/ forty done forty left. Then I get to cut little wrench flats on each one. ~Wes~ |

Glad your feeling better Wes, ..............you might have just screwed too many nipples , ........................it could have been a case of nipple fever not man flu ? ................ be careful lad :thumbup: Looking forward to the next photos . Cheers Mick. |

hey Powder Keg Wes, just a comment on the nipples. after taking the time making flats on mine for my rear wheel I've re-evaluated the strategy. I think what I'm going to do for the front (many many nipples) is to use a slit saw and just cut a notch in the end so that a flat screwdriver can be used to tighten the spokes. I envision making a little jig that holds 10 nipples at a time. Of course, the flats look totally awesome(mine are little hexes)...so don't let me talk you out of it! Glad you're back on the project...I'm hoping to get back to mine too. |
