spoke holes
I have a set of Record low-flange hubs that have been built more than
once and have pretty rough spokes holes. Is there a way to ream and re-countersink these to make it easier to build the hubs up? I suspect the previous build was 4-cross and I want to go 3-cross so the deformation from previous builds won't help me this time. Thanks |

No cosmetic concerns here, I just want strong and straight wheels. Thanks. B. |
