Well at the very least it's the leading wheel in the pursuit of the Overlander. One last thing needed doing before the hub
and rim got laced into a wheel and that was to clean up the brake drum surface. It did't look scored or scared from abuse
but it was a bit rusty and just pretty ugly.
So I put it on the lathe and using a dowel and 220 grit aluminum oxide paper
slowly but surely cleaned it up. Of
course since it was turning I had to take a few minutes to admire the holes
spinning round. I will admit my wheel
truing stand is a bit crude. However as
long as you take time to square, level and proceed methodically even my crude
set up can produce a good wheel.
The ugly and rusty brake
drum surface.
Spinning and cool.
Clean!
The laced and trued front wheel.
