Post by ironangel » Mon Mar 21, 2011 12:22 am

getting ready to despoke the wheel,thought I would show you what a po did,only on the one out side row,the other out side and inners are ok. I remember doing this on bicycles when I was a kid,but on a motorcycle???

Was there a reason for bending them like that?

I'd bet a bunch the wheel was rotating and something hit those spokes. ..........lm

I don't know how the spokes got bent,whether accidental or deliberate,the wheel came off a parts bike(ca77) which I aquired several years ago. As I mentioned in the first post we did that to loose spokes on bicycles but not that close to the hub.Puzzleing..Jerry
