Years ago, I bought a new set of Sprite wire wheels. They were brand new. Unfortunately, my hubs were not new. So, over the years, I had that dreaded "clunk" no matter how much I tightened them. At some point, I came across a new set of SV wire wheel hubs. I just installed them when I replaced the rear bearings. But, I'd hate now for the bad hubs that ruined the new wheels, to have the ruined new wheels ruin the new hubs.
So, I guess my first question is whether it is the hubs or wheels or both that go? That is, is it possible that my wheels may actually still be ok?
My second question is about the knock off Minilights. I remember Ian used to have them. If I try to find any, are there any hints on the right ones? Or are they unobtainium at this point? I'd like to find another pair of Sprite wire wheels. But, I'm thinking they are not going to be $60 each like they were when I bought them in 1989!
