Evening chaps,
I'm looking for recommendations. For the last couple of rebuilds, I have rechromed original rims and bought replacement spokes from Central Wheel, with varying degrees of success. For the Bantam, the rims were showing rust spots in 5 years, and the plated steel nipples were very rusty; the rechromed rims and plated brass nipples on the SQ4 are still good 7 years on - apart from the rust spot where I dropped a blob of Baker's Fluid whilst replacing a clutch cable nipple.
So, what shall I do for the FH? I'm probably going to buy brass plated nipples and stainless spokes from Central Wheel again, but shall I buy new stainless rims or plate the originals?
Opinions?
