My wheels...out with the old, and in with the re-furbed

New spokes, are they still torx head adjustment? I'm not a subscriber so can't get pm's either but would be interested in the cost. Scabby wheels can spoil any car/bike regardless of how nice the rest of it is.

For £12 you can:thumb

If you can't part with this vast sum to access some great parts of the site and save it in a heartbeat, you could always ring Hagon.......:blast
 
Recently moved and looking for work. As I was self employed I'm not entitled to any help from the goverment. I was only interested as a guide so when I find work I can allocate some funds to farkles. Until that point there is no spare cash.
 
I still don't get all this price secrecy. Though Hagon are unlikely to beat Kevin Blurton at OI332 369O85
He's was asking £65 labour for a GS cross spoke wheel plus parts etc

That's kind of you. When that's done can you help with my road tax as well, not ridden it since September!

50p from me too.....:D
 
Wheels look great.
The wheels on my 2011 Adventure are no longer looking their best, please PM me the details of your refurb.
I did get a quote from a place in Devon, worked out about £650. Interested in how that compares to your costs.
Many thanks.

Total cost inc vat was £702

Process was:-

> Dis-assembly of both wheels into component parts
> Rims were stripped & anodised
> 2 x new sets of plated spokes
> Hubs were stripped & painted
> Full re-assembly & tru-ing

:D

That's a good price. Heck of a lot cheaper than new wheels.:thumb
 
As Nutty said, cheaper than new wheels and I reckon they look a lot better as well.
