Bad rims warning

We do need to check sellers feedback and not just the complaint but the REPLIES.
They will give a good idea of the attitude of the seller. .........lm

Mike

Follow their ordering procedure and they will drill the rim to the correct dimensions and supply spokes to fit.

They did the rims for my Yamaha Flat Tracker which was entirely custom. I just chose the rims, and measured the hubs. They supplied the rims and spokes and I built the wheels myself.

Send him this answer from Bill Silver:
xpert: Bill Silver
Subject: ill fitting spokesheads Dream 305 C77 (eu)
Question: I bought a 16 inch Union Cycles rim together with a new spokes-set but now found out ( at least the guy who spokes in the wheel)that the spokesheads don,t fit right in the hole.
So good lacing is impossible, the threads stick out and there.s a lot of tension and bending going on.
How do we solve this?
Maybe you got a picture of how the spokeshead should look like?
I didn,t keep my old spokes so I can,t compare.
Also the exact length and angle of the spokes could be handy...
Hope you can help me out....
Kind regards, Mike Jagt
Answer: Mike, those wheel/spoke kits are a disaster and they won't make them right, apparently. If the rims are 1.85x16, they are really for a C95 Benly, not a Dream. The spoke holes are drilled incorrectly for Dream hub widths. I don't have any close-up photos of Dream wheels/spokes at the moment, or spoke length dimensions.

I would contact Central Wheel in the UK and see if they can re-drill your rims, if they are the correct width. If they are not the correct rims, then you are fighting a losing battle.

Send him this , but he just doesn,t listen

Dear ooo-yez,

Are you absolute sure this is the correct size rim for a Honda Dream C77 1962 front wheel ?

It,s his fault all along, ad states clearly C77.

Even send him more pictures than this one.
Did not keep all the mails, the more i write the more frustrated i get and my mailbox to full.
This is the last thing i,ll ever buy from this guy, what a mentality.
Thinks i, m doing this out of fun.
When i would keep it like this, it would be unsafe to ride and impossible to sell.
But that,s not his problem clearly
