Time to move on to the wheels.
With 4 rows of 14 spokes per wheel, this adds up to 224 spokes, compared to the 288 spokes on the Borranis used on the 156, with 6 rows of 12 each.
Nonetheless I got some green felt and glued it into the inside of a cookie tin cover. This should keep stuff from bouncing too far, as well as making it more visible. Stay tuned for a full report on this innovation.
Meanwhile the process of spoking wheels requires a Zen approach with some added fortitude. Just starting on the second row and it is clear I am going to need a better 1/64" drill bit, hopefully the local hardware store has at least one.
Stay tuned!
