Ok most of you hoard bicycles, and I have a few...but can't resist wheels. I have about 30 or 40
loose ones.
I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck. Now I really don't want to get into his business , but Chuck
has lots of wheels. Well bikes too , but lots of wheels. He probably scraps more in a month than
any of us will have in a lifetime.
I went by his house, and he had stuff on a trailer..won't say how much , but you guys picking up
a scrap bike would die for these. Anyway he had this one rim where I could grab it as we stood
there talking and I asked him if I could have it. Chuck is a really nice guy and said yes. I figure its
good for the stainless spokes.
Yesterday its really raining and I grab this rim out of sheer boredom. It has a bad bearing in the hub.
Now since I know Chuck I have an extra loose hub and I take it apart and change out the bad bearing.
I clean the rim and all the spokes, trued it and after a couple hours I have a perfectly good back wheel that I
added to the pile of I will never use.
loose ones.
