After a catastrophic rim failure before my morning coffee, Nick enlisted my help to salvage his 8-speed Veloce hubs. With Lyle out of town, there was no one to stop us from getting jacked on caffeine, cranking 3 Inches of Blood, and dremeling on the computer desk.
That settles it, I'm going to dremel the hub out of my next borfed wheel. Cutting the spokes with diagonal cutters is hard on the cutters and also hard on my wispy little hands.
A journey into the mindset of four multi-disciplinary bike nerds. Riding dirty, breaking shit, fixing it, nerding it out, styling it up, passing it on, and arguing about it on the Internet.

OK, what tools are you making?
Notching out a flathead bit to make a spoke nipple driver that was in turn discarded in favour cutting the spokes out with a cutoff wheel.
haha. holy shit. I am assuming you guys realized that cutting the spokes out is WAY more fun shortly after making that vid.
Nick, you are needed down in PDX, btw. Everyone thinks ProjB Nick is Spatual Nick Berry.
