armbJoined the Cambridge Bent Friday Ride yesterday lunchtime to see Jon's homebuilt recumbent (u.r.c thread).
Rebuilt the folder wheel having cut 6mm or so off every spoke. The steel nipples are forming their own threads below the original ones to some extent, but with luck there is enough of the proper spoke thread engaged in undeformed nipple thread to hold. We'll see.
[Edit: and assembling the bike, I now notice the gear chain (like this) is now missing from the hub. Luckily I have a spare, albeit worn.]
