Wire wheelbuilding/trueing

Met a nice guy called Maurice Thomas the other day at Motoliner (the frame/cast wheel straightening people) nr Maidstone. Although he helps out at Motoliner, being about 70, he also works out of his shed/workshop at 5 St George's Square, Maidstone. 01622 202536. He's got a milling machine, lathe etc & seems to know how to use them but his speciality is wheel building. Charged us £55 for a partial respoke/rebuild of an offroad wheel recently. He has extensive knowledge of older 2 strokes & maintains a nice '70s Spondon Yamaha 250 sprint bike for his son. He was quite happy for me to give his private no out.

 

Did you go to school with him?

 

F**k off & polish your helmet.

 

Sprint bike eh? Think I might have a ride up to see him for a chat! Might need some maching as well!!!​

 

BTW Les - did you finalise anything about this trip to Snowdon?

 

No, thought I'd wait a few days to see if anyone else was interested. Will post more on that thread now.

 

Ok. Can you send me the link to the original post? I can't find it.

Did you mention that there's another trip there in May? Who's organising that one?

 

Amancalledrob started the thread in the main forum called Snowdon & I hope to do that one as well.
