So AtomicXRer, has picked Jan 12, for this event. But I have no idea what time he will make his appearance?
I could really be nice and make some green chili dip too. I better learn how to lace up a wheel by then.

Just make sure I have not drank over 10 beers before I start the wheel.

Small adjustable wrench--I will bring mine

I have a motorcycle spoke wrench if needed. Also have a 16 lb sledge for the sticky ones

RideFreak · 12-21-2012, 07:05 AM

We used to cut all the spokes with a cutting torch, makes for a quick disassembly esp when the nipples got frozen, sorta like mine feel this morning

Since I plan to reuse the spokes, there'll be a 2 beer limit

and no torches, pliers, adjustable wrenches, hammers ect...

Hey AtomicXRer don't break the wheel down--just let the air out--Dwec can't stand a flat and it is a real show to watch him take it apart

I've got some rubber cement and matches that he can play with to keep him occupied !

DirtDad · 12-22-2012, 07:03 AM

I think an appropriate time would be around 1:00.

It should take me about 3 hrs to lace it up.

Derek, you can come as long as you bring a proper spoke wrench, and a sledge hammer, can't
find mine.
