Ok after spending a week tearing down old rims and either cleaning them and changing to new spokes ,or wire brushing and painting them and then respoking . I have come to the conclusion that the favorite past time of the american youth (Two what?) was to see how fast they could go on their bikes and ram into something hard. Almost every front rim is bent to some degree. In most of the pictures you see or bikes you get ,the front forks are bent back. Must have been a bunch of brain damaged little boys running around in the 30's or 40's. Maybe they all got into politics....... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
