I don't have it to hand, but I think I know who does.....

Why would anyone be interested in modelling those!

Enigma wrote:This is all very interesting to read. But in practical terms, how much variation in design is possible? For example, how about flat fronted spokes as per Barclay wheels? One of their 'standard' sizes was 3'5" which is a bit of an oddball but I suppose 3'6" (which is a tyre size that would probably be more obtainable) could do at a stretch.
But would Colin provide the same service given that these wheels could be seen as being in competition with him?
I'd also like to ask how the axle holes will be dimensioned. Similar to Gibson wheels ie a push/interference fit? Does the plastic being used have the slight inherent 'flexibilty' to allow this?
