Bringing A Hawthorne Back To Life :-)

Scott ill have to look. Sounds right though

Its missing a handful of spokes unfortunately so when i have the shop replace them ill have to deal with not matching spokes and nipples bit ill live.

I guess i could post in the wtb

shop?? DIY!
I have some nipples and maybe some spokes: they aren't Torrington.
Let me know how many you need and I'll check.

I do almost everything myself but truing wheels takes me FOREVER and i have no spokes handy so i figured it was best to have my friend tim do it at the shop next to my house. If you have spokes i would certainly go ahead and do it myself. Ive built all my bmx wheel sets myself. Even tensioned and trued a couple.

Its the front wheel and its missing like 6 spokes. I believe the rear has them all. I dont mind not having torrington spokes. The shop will use dts anyway.

What I meant was the spokes that are in these wheels originally are not Torrington

Oh ok
I honestly know very little about wheels past rims and hubs. And even then know little.
Im still not picky about the spokes
