How To Strip A Spoked Rear Wheel | Barn Find Triumph Bonneville T140 Project Motorcycle | 13

In this episode I completely strip the rear wheel of my 1975 Triumph Bonneville T140V which I intend to rebuild with new spokes and a new rim.

Here are some of the tools I am going to be using for this bike:

Imperial Combination Spanner Set: https://ebay.us/gYz85M
Imperial 1/2inch Socket set: https://ebay.us/jylH05
Imperial Allen Hex Bit Sockets: https://ebay.us/iFV0OQ

My original plan was to paint the rims on this Triumph Bonneville T140V black as well as cleaning and polishing the spokes. I felt this would fit in more with my Desert Sled, Scrambler ambitions. However the rear wheel isn’t in as good condition as the front, so I knew I would have to rebuild it. So I have since decided to rebuild both wheels. I have already stripped the front wheel

I have now bought a set of powder coated rims on a well known marketplace for a really great price and I have ordered stainless spokes and nipples, so that I can build the wheels.

I have vapour blasted the hubs using a homemade vapour blast cabinet and then powder coated them black. Look back at a couple of videos in the playlist that show how I created a vapour blaster using one of my dry blast cabinets, and how I powder coated the hubs.
