BMX Purple and Black

You know Nigel I was looking at this post because I am getting ready to do the yearly maintenance on this ride, which is a total overhaul. So far they have held up. I read the article again and see where the warnings are. Radial spokes are only OK for FRONT WHEEL ONLY. Being that this bike was made in China and low end, I figure I better start looking for a different wheelset. The flanges on it are probably not high forged like Sheldon's site states it should be.
Shame because they are in really nice condition.
Good maintenance to your Bike, can make it like the wheels are, true and smooth!
