Well once again I want to welcome you back as I continue to work through
this backlog of wheels I've got to catch up on. Last week most of you noticed that
I uploaded two videos last Friday and the reason was they were kind of related,
both having to do with putting on hard rubber tires, but the two different sets
of wheels had some different personalities about them so I decided to
split them up and kind of keep them individualistic for future reference.
Well this week I have kind of the same type of deal. I'm going to upload two videos.
I'm doing somewhat the same thing on both of these. They have steel tires
and I'm going to tighten them up but, both sets the wheels have a little
different personality about them and a couple different things kind of show up,
so I'm going to leave them as two distinct different videos for future reference.
So the first set of wheels that we're going to get into in this
video has to do with some damage in the felloes that we're going to do some repairs on.
And then we're going to set the tires again and tighten these loose wheels up.
Now these wheels are a modified sarven, the outside flange is
in two pieces, but the basic principle is the same as a sarvenn style hub that you
seen you work on before.
Now there's some pretty obvious spaces between the spokes shoulders and the
felloes, but these we can take and tighten up with a little wedge into the
tenon, but the biggest problem with this wheel is a felloe that is splitting
where the tenon of the spoke comes through. Now this is a real common
problem and if you've watched me put rim rivets in, this is what it is supposed to alleviate.
Well this wheel has given away and I think I can pull it back together,
I'm going to put a couple of rim rivets in there and see if I can't suck this together.
But I noticed there's some filler on the inside curve and I've got
to try to work that out so I can get this compressed back together,
Well as it turns out, somebody's put some auto body filler in this split trying to
disguise the crack, but really didn't get it repaired, so now I've got to kind of
got it cleaned out, I think we can draw it together and make a little better repair
and salvage this felloe.
Well, this is just one style of repair that we run into fairly commonly,
where this tenon goes through the felloe it basically cuts the fellow in half and it
can kind of cause these bulges to where they finally give away,
but I think we'll have a good pair of wheels here.
Once again, thanks for watching!
you
