356 Ounces

#1 Post by Adam Wright »

A little bit of happy irony. I was packing up one of my Rudge wheels today to send it out for repair, it's cracking around the rivets. And when I put it on the scale it read 356 oz.

The cost to repair a Rudge wheel might just be $356 too.......
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.....

I feel your pain Mike. What's worse than getting up at 3:56 a.m. to go, is taking 3:56 to finish the job!

Amusing that anyone would consider putting a 22 1/4 lb wheel on a 356. (A standard steel wheel weighs about 15 lb.)

I'll tell you the same thing I tell anyone else who asks, if they are good enough for Steve McQueen, they are good enough for me.
