    Going by the pics you guys have put at least one of these together, did you have any issues? Mine took a few trial fits to find a top ring/bottom ring rotation alignment that was close to lining up the connection tabs and all of the bolts had to be lightly threaded prior to tightening because it had to flexed the tabs to line up.

    I’ll probably get a bit of weld run along the tabs to stiffen it up for the long haul too.

    It shouldn’t need welding AB, mine has done a ton on work and never even needed tighten after it was first assembled

    Mine needed a little fudging and encouragement to put together, but it seems all good now though :P

    Got my tyre changer this morning and it all bolted together OK.
    Just leave the bolts loose till you get them in place then tighten em up.
    Just looking for a tyre that needs changing so I can try it out. :silly:

So yeah mate I will de lace them for you and have them done and rebuild the wheels for you being that I am a nice guy. The ARSE turns up with tyres on expecting me to strip them as well lazy bastard couldnt even take the tyres of to help :angry:

    Yeah they’d be the same rims and hubs he lent to me saying in the same breath “Oh the hub is flogged out and the bearing just flops about a bit,they did 28,000,000 km on my bike,just use some shimming steel and some bearing glue and it should be right.”Ended up costing me close to $100(mates rates) to get the hub machined and fixed proper,now they are fixed he is busting to get them back. :ohmy: Any wonder I am dragging the chain. :laugh:

    Oh you just opened up a can of whoop arse on yourself you PEANUT, easy to tell you work in the news industry your reporting skills fit right in :laugh:

    Firstly you wanted the rims right wrong or indifferent and I told you they had a flogged bearing hole but you wanted a look and send them anyway so I did then there was some methods of fixing yes

    The repair cost you nothing, it was also $89 that your work sorted out NOTHING CAME OUT OF YOUR POCKET FOR THE REPIAR and I offered to pay for remember

    I have never busted my arse to get them back and as you know have gone to a lot of trouble for you to continue using them remember 3 weeks back with all that I went through so you could continue using mine because you like the look of the black rims :huh:

    Speaking of your rims and arses once I do the work and sort yours out and repsoke them and have the rims done I will shove yours up your f*$king arse :laugh:
