March 27, 201115 yr Hey boys and girls I have recently had a big ish prang on my 76 sherpa and have slightly bent the rear rim and popped half a dozen spokes my hub also needs to be relinned Does anyone Know of a reasonable person to straighten and rebuild the wheel and reline the hub? Ideally bristol area but i will send off if needed also i could do with it being done asap as i have no other bike to ride. Many thanks James
March 28, 201115 yr I've not had much luck with finding people to reline the hubs apart from Bultaco UK's contact. Exchange steel lined (not chrome as original) hubs are
March 28, 201115 yr For info only, wheel has to be stripped to the hub anyway for a reline, cant help with wheel builders in your part of the world. Speak to Wayne at Billet Parts (who advertises here on TC)as he may well be able to help. http://billetparts.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=24&osCsid=e8450470cd4660df374eaee510447276

Many thanks James Hi James, These guys seem to know what they are talking about Central Wheel Components Limited 8 & 9 Station Road Coleshill Birmingham B46 1HT United Kingdom Telephone +44 (0)1675 462264 Facsimile +44 (0)1675 466412 E-mail General Information: info@central-wheel.co.uk General Sales: sales@central-wheel.co.uk Have a look at their website. Hope it helps Regards, Tom,
March 30, 201115 yr Any engineering workshop worth its salt should be able to re-line your hub. Machine hub, machine liner (steel) so it's an interference fit with newly machined hub. Insert (press) new liner into hub. Drill a small hole, half of hole in liner other half in hub and press appropriately sized pin into hole.
March 31, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the info guys, I have found a guy in bristol who is taking the work on for me, If he does a good job i will have plenty of over work for him. Any idea which tyres are the best value for money? currently run irc but they seem to be expensive next to some over brands cheers james
