I like that reconstruction idea.
Not...Interesting. I like that reconstruction idea.<br /><br />Not sure of the Mavic eyelet construction either, but some were black plastic (my friend's carbone had black plastic ones).<br /><br />I like the idea of resurrecting wheels like this. Very cool.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-66423704874951913462009-07-02T14:15:42.361-04:002009-07-02T14:15:42.361-04:00hey aki,
well... i decided to move on to REAL whe...hey aki,<br /><br />well... i decided to move on to REAL wheels and away from my well loved REV-X.<br /><br />my site, pistarice.blogspot.com now has pictures of my repaired 16 spoke rear cosmic carbone!<br /><br />i had, as well as many others, cracked eyelets and a spoke that collaped part of the rim where the tension was only relying on the inside eyelet. Not sure if the early mavic double eyelets were infact brass, or aluminum. since they cracked so cleanly, i am not sure.<br /><br />I decided this could be repairable and give myself a true/ridable wheel again, and with the addition of a slightly longer spoke, I could repair my cracked eyelets with those from a donor, Mavic Open pro. the open pro has significantly shallower eyelets. <br /><br />so now the inner, collapsed, eyelet is no longer in use and the tension is only being used from the outside eyelet, brass, from the open pro.<br /><br />http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=553249&highlight=cosmicAdminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05953249410453631152noreply@blogger.com
