Project RE's wheels

Project Royal Enfield has wheels and tyres. And they're beauties: 19in black rims, Talon black hubs, stainless spokes and nicely scrubbed in Maxxis DT-1s, bought secondhand from my mate, Ben. For now, they're hung from a ceiling using an ingenious, space-saving method learned while doing a feature for Performance Bikes. The double-threaded special screw is well, screwed into the wooden joist, then the long hex nut screws on and a length of threaded bar screws into it. Next, push the hub over the threaded bar, put a big washer and a nut on and your wheels are hung perpendicular to the ceiling well out of the way. I left this threaded bar a bit long, but it's not big deal. Thanks for the tip Sam. M8 Machine Thread to Wood Thread Dowels are available from ScrewFix or any decent ironmonger. G
