RickStallone Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Hi, Just joined after buying an FS1SE last week to restore, any help welcomed including to start where do I go for new spokes as the wheels are different sizes to the FS1e ? Many thx Rick
Moderator DirtyDT Posted June 25, 2013 Moderator Posted June 25, 2013 Is that really a hello? It would help to know where you are in the UK and a little about you. This would then allow us to know if you can actually change the spokes yourself and understand things such as ofsets and stuff rather than either teaching you to suck eggs or warn you of any pitfalls.

blackhat250 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Yeh rick " more info helps, its the FS1E Rally at Squires next weekend,,,
RickStallone Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 Hello Hello Hello! Hi there, I'm based in the midlands and no never really had a go at replacing spokes before, although I was probably thinking more along the lines of taking the wheels in to somewhere local to me to get them sorted out so pitfalls yes sucking eggs definatly not. Not afraid of tackling certain jobs but thought I would leave this one to those in the know! Hi Blackhat, where in the UK is Squires? Google brings a few up...Sounds interesting! Regards Rick
Tommy xs Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 hi & welcome to yoc squires is just outside leeds, little late with that info but I'm good at that!!
Moderator Airhead Posted July 7, 2013 Moderator Posted July 7, 2013 try manchester xtreme Rick they will make the spokes and rebuild the wheels for a good price, I'd go for stainless un-polished spokes myself. Can you post up a picture? I'd like to see this bike
RickStallone Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Hi Airhead, Cheers for the advice! Not quite sure how to get a piccy up on here ? Regards Rick
Moderator Airhead Posted August 5, 2013 Moderator Posted August 5, 2013 ahh you have to use a hosting site like photobucket, upload your picture there and from there you can copy the pictures 'image tag' and paste it into here 1
Moderator Airhead Posted August 5, 2013 Moderator Posted August 5, 2013 Nice bikes Rick, is the FS1E chopper rare...I would imagine so?
RickStallone Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Cheers mate, yes only made them for a couple of years or so, finding original parts is proving to be a bit of a mission to say the least! Still only myself to blame must be Ha!
