check other threads for updates
spent $420 on s/s spokes &nipples
half of spokes had threads so badly cut,nipples wouldnt even start to screw on
anyway i found 40 that would screw on(some not well)laced up rear wheel-bugger me,couldnt get spokes to tighten up
removed 1 spoke & measured
5mm longer-nipples came to end of spoke thread &spokes not tight
stripped wheel&sent e mail to supplier-waiting answer

am trying to reassemble frame.forks,wheels etc , before attacking motor to reduce number of bits lying around

heres to hi tech-bro

supplier has apologised -sent me spokes for 19" wheels,as for quality-blamed his junior engineer.
anyway he is happy to replace so should be ok

cuccilo etc depends on number of posts youve done
cucci is 50cc bicycle-you work your way up through ducati models

bicycle seems ok for you :lol: :lol: :lol:
might have to ask site moderator to keep you there permantly as punishment
for selling your darmah-what year &how much did you sell it
