Sorry Man, I should have read under the pic of them. I thought they were like 24 step spoke wheels I perfer the 6 spoke and couldn't figure why you would go to the trouble to machine what I thought I saw. Very nice wheels indeed!!!!!! Your total build is awsome. I hope you don't mind, but I am trying a delrin frame for my bodiless with the single point suspension hookup for the lowers. Your thinking outside of the box is total genius. |

So when are you gonna introduce your version of a cutting brake? Also, did you disassemble the universal to get such clean grinds on them? |
