Re: Wheel spokes

Many thanks. I also talked to Nick Mouat, and I have just found his details. He is friendly and helpful, so I am sorted!

I've used them several times in the past.

Remember there are THREE sizes of spokes on an Austin wheel - the short ones and the two longer ones (inner & outer)

Best of luck.

Re: Wheel spokes

just refreshed all 6 of my 19 inch wheel with spokes from CWS.. just send a one of each length you want and somebody calls back to take your card number and confirm what materials you want spokes and nipples in and they come after about a week and they fit. used them for all sorts of motorcycles and cars.

Re: Wheel spokes

I have respoked and tried my five 19" wheels,using heat and penetrating oil on most of the nipples.I only replaced about 20%of the spokes. A friend has told me that the heat would have destroyed the temper of the spokes and I should expect rapid failure as they stretch in use. Is this correct? Andrew

Re: Wheel spokes

Hi, they will be high tensile, so heat is not a good idea.I would just cut out the damaged/ seized ones and renew

Re: Wheel spokes

ahe 19 inch wheel is so simple to lace up i d just renew them all.. great article on the internet somewhere about how to do it,, takes about 15 minutes per wheel once you ve done a couple..
