Triumphrat

I'm getting ahead of myself on this since I'm still in the tear-down stage but I will eventually be needing new rims & spokes for both wheels. Actually, my front hub is pretty rusty too and will need re-plating/painting/or replacing (suggestions???).

However, after pulling off the front wheel I thought it was very heavy and wondered if there was any source for alloy rims. The only wheel replacement parts I've seen on-line has been for complete front wheels ($$$) and only hubs for rear wheels (my rear hub is in pretty good shape). Stainless spokes would be nice too.

Anyone know what's available to rebuild wheels?

Thanks.

I had alloy rims and stainless spokes (wheel builds) here:

Presumably there are similar companies in the states.

Check out:

They will sell you exactly what you need or build them with your hubs. They are in the US, have fair prices are knowledgeable and prompt. I built my own and everything I ordered went together perfectly. Excellent fit and finish.

Thanks for the info everyone. Looks like Buchanan has pretty much what I need (even spoke kits for older Triumphs.)
