Kept myself too busy to post these last Friday, but I'm working on putting these in the car Today to get them back to a friend of mine. Lol
Trying out shims on the spoke heads to put regular 14ga spokes in a Worksman heavy duty drum hub for a 16" S7 Krate wheel combo.
Guy wanted this front hub swapped into a rear S7 center stamped wheel, both hubs 61. Thought it was interesting that the hub was actually made by Union and stamped as such, as well as being Schwinn Approved. Definitely not just a replacement axle.
Check out the diagonal knurling inside the rim too....
His friend wanted a cheaper alternative for a 3sp 20" wheel too, so we set him up with a 36h Shimano in a late model rim and some fresh new nipples. Cain't be havin none of dem crusty nipples! Lol
I can post this one now too since I finally got to give dad his birthday present.
Started out as a new old stock Center Stamped 20" S2 that had been hanging in a shop forever. Needed some cleaning. You can still see the price sticker residue sort of, I knocked that off with the Shepard's hook when I was taking it down from the rafters.
NOS RB2 hub shell and
Schwinn Approved spokes too. Beautiful rim!
