I open this post, I don't know if there is another similar one, so you can see and we can share doubts, problems and breakdowns with our Tioga/Sugino tension Disk wheels. I have several, including some New in box, I also have them broken. I have already fixed some. Now what I am going to tell you is how I am going to change a 700 to a 26. My 700 was with the plastics detached, so I decided to disassemble to glue again. But I thought…..What if I change the configuration, cut the plastics and make a 26??
The original strings were also worn out, and I also started looking for some new Kevlar strings, and after searching, I found the same ones.
And the plastics? they are old and with dry glue , I also found different types of acetate.
While testing the old rope , it also occurred to me to ask a friend to sell me his Sugino kit of loose parts . So in the end, I will make the change from 700 to 26, make one from scratch, and repair another one that I have with a broken string. I will show you photos of the steps, and the material that I will use.
These first photos are from the first rehearsals
