Bicycle spokes on the front?

I use on the front spoked wheels , as in several TD kits are involved:

only to name a few...


This spoke wheels are unfortunately only on the front detailed, on the back, they are too much thick and fat.


My opinion.


Comic spoke wheels, if I can not see between the spokes...

Therefore, I edit the spokes, a little.

Above the originals, the edited below:

Left the original, right the edited:







This is my tool:







And then the result is ready:







Well, this interference requires a lot of time, but afterwards they are much nicer wheels...

Ahhh, this was the post I was just talking about today! Great tip Bobby! Makes SUCH a difference! The best option for improving plastic wheels I think (although I do like those ones with the photoetched spokes that you see sometimes too).

Thanks for fixing the pics!

Like itsonlyakit said...perfect vision and steady hands. It worked perfectly but I'm sure it took me twice as long!! Thanks for the tip Boban!!
