Default Re: "A" with wooden spoke wheels....

My first mentor was also a high school chum with one of my uncles. He busted a few too many spokes on the rear wheel of an old Harley Davidson V-twin. He reworked an old Maxwell wood spoker wheel to fit the axle and drive sprocket then rode it around quite a while before selling it to someone else. My uncle rode with him through a cow pasture chasing jack rabbits and the wheel held up just fine. Both of those guys were pretty crazy but they had a lot of fun doing crazy stuff..
