Hard to maintain, hard to get tyres fitted, wobble all over the place and ruin the handling. Now have 4 spoke revolutions. They look better and utterly transform the handling!! Photo? I have also bought revo's but they are still not fitted to mine :p Spit is undergoing a restoration :p

:) don't mind he mess :P
-
And this is the result ! and i'm really glad about it :) And it cost me about 15 euro's i think to paint them & co , new ones are about 250 euro's .. Mine had got some small dents in them but now you don't see them anymore ;D
-
now i've sanded them down , i will spray them black again and put some lacker over them ;) and we will see :P and if that's good , i'll do the other ones to :) I just need to get to the shop tomorrow ;D

i fixed my original steering wheel today at work :P there was some play between the wheel it self and the alloy adaptor .. ( seen on one of the first photo's i posted) i've put some bolt true the steering wheel in the adaptor so now it secured properly ;) I'm going to buy another steering wheel (moto-lita !) in a few years ;)

uksnatcher wrote:I found the mountney wheel spokes a bit flimsy tbh you can flex them really easily, i have removed the same std triumph wheel as yours wimpus and will be fitting it back on as soon as i get fed up of the blingy momo. The standard wheel spokes are solid and sturdy and just the right size.....expect to pay decent prices for a wheel you will compare with the standard one, try before you buy my best advise. Heres my experimental Momo wheel with a 80's mini hub boss (TR7 hub will fit too): Heres the Mountney that i found the spokes too flimsy: thanks for the info ! But i want to buy a moto-lita .. are there better ?

MikeyB wrote:if you mean the little ally bit pictured under the wheel, that looks like the boss that locates on the splines. If you buy a new wheel most likely it will have it's own unique boss - look up mountney wheels on ebay or similar and you will see what I mean! If by chance you do replace your wheel and find your old boss surplus to requirements, then I would be happy to do a deal with you as it looks like the one I need to fit a wheel I have here at home :) ok ! thanks for the info! :P so you need that ally bit ? :)
