Subject: Pietenpol-List: Pietenpol WheelsI'm starting to look for a set of spoked wheels for my piet does anyone have any suggestions on what to use and a good place to start looking. What size should I use and any particular brand which is a favorite. Is it important to change the hub. I've been told motorcycle wheels can take a tremenduos amount of sideload and that the axle would brake before the wheel would. Any thougts on thisHELP.Gary New Orleans________________________________________________________________________________

I used Yahama 650 wheels. 19" I split the casing and widened them out to7" with a inside spacer. Also changed spokes to Harley spokes.Dick Navratil----- Original Message -----
