One helpful hint on the epoxy filler; I used a piece of masking tape wide enough to reach beyond the beveled area of the crack and long enough to reach a little more than halfway around the wheel or spoke. Then lay the wheel so that the masking tape is down on the workbench so that it will catch and collect the epoxy as you trowel it in from above the masked area. After it dries when you remove the tape, you can see that the epoxy filled the masked area quite well with no need for touch up. Gotta work the epoxy in though for it to come out okay. Cuts down on filing and sanding.
