Robert's Heavy-Duty Spoked Wheels

Robert is now supplying some very heavy-duty,
wide-hubbed spoked wheels.
Perfect for full scale WWI planes
with BIG heavy engines.

Below are a series of images showing the procedure
for lacing the wheels with their spokes.
(All the images below are thumbnails.
Click on the image for a much larger one to view.)

The Beginning. Everything all laid out and ready to go.	Set up both hubs like this.
Starting inserting the spokes.	Here we go with one side done.
Spokes are in both sides and we're ready to start on the hubs.	All the spokes are in and we're starting the real lacing.
This images shows any two spokes that run parallel will be four holes apart (three empty holes in between ) on the rim	Any spokes that cross at the hub will be 10 apart (9 holes in between )
A wheel that *Bryan* laced would look like this and need to be re done by removing the spokes and installing them one hole pattern aft in the hub	After all the spokes are in, it's time to start tightening down the nuts.
Getting all of them the same is the last step.	Almost done.

Robert makes it look awful easy!!!

Two welded hubs sell for $195 per pair and have a larger inside hub
with a bolt hole pattern for a brake.

Wheel kits ready to be laced with 2 tires, 2 tubes and 2 bearing sets
sell for $495. This also includes a step-by-step detailed video.

The weight of 2 hubs is "about" 2 lbs.
(We couldn't get them to register on a digital scale.)

The weight of ONE wheel complete with tire and tube is 18 lbs.
So, two COMPLETE wheels will weigh 36 lbs.
