Rim

Built up the front wheel using a set of stainless spokes, nickel-plated brass nipples and a stainless rim in the same pattern as the original Dunlop rim.

I haven't built a wheelbuilding stand yet and someone (!) had borrowed my welder yet again and was late returning it so I was unable to knock one together, so I trued up the rim in place between the front forks. This helped get the wheel centred without having to measure offset - I just had to make sure it was centred between the stanchions. Finished up using a dial gauge, and was surprised at the amount of out-of-round caused by the welded join in the rim.
