And removing your wife’s make-up (or yours?!) and also high temperature cooking…

Long past The Cure eyeliner look, now if you'd see me in the early 80s.....

So… today was Wheel Day.
Well, Disassembly Sunday that it.
Rear wheel, now the bleedin block was cut off, came apart beautifully. All the nipples were free, all unlaced, cleaned the hub.
Front wheel… hmm, perhaps it spent some time sticking out of the door. Nothing budged. Serveral spokes simply snapped under mild torsion, so a good reason to simply cut them all out (plus never trust a rusty-spoked wheel lol)
Now, can anyone I-d the hubs? No markings on them at all - front is 32 hole, rear is 40. Cleaned up really well except the chrome in shot on the front body.
Now have to clean the rims (Weinmann 27x1 1/4 stamped, hookless), order new spokes etc. and wheel-building is on!

The front one checks out, wondering why the rear on mine only has the five holes? Could this on eb*y be a missatched pair?
The price though, bejezuz…
