1912 Excelsior Rear Wheel Spoke & True
This thing is tricky. Spokes 'click-in' slots on one side, opposite inside direction, different spoke swags, angled clincher rim. I had to disassemble it, and it's like a huge Bendix Red Ring coaster brake inside. All dry, it needs cleaning and greased. Then reassemble and see if I can get this 26" hoop in a truing stand ? It's got two different ways to hit-the-brakes (internal and external) - and driven by pedals or the motor . . . The engineers couldn't make up their mind what they wanted. A bicycle? or a Motorbike? Transportation for either of 2 markets.
