Adhsdad Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Looking to see if anyone has a spare 16 th scale Wire lacing tool that Micro Nitro used to offer for the "bicycle tire" front rims that they used to sell. Thanks, Ep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Pictures would allow it to possibly be recreated. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) I have one buried somewhere in my hobby room. I'll take a good look around for it in the next few days. And no, I don't want to get rid of it. Edited December 2, 2018 by gasser59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 A photo might help us to fabricate one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 No. I put it in a safe place, so safe, in fact, its hidden from me. I'll keep looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 A few years ago I was working with Ted's Modeling and I made this fixture for Micro Nitro's 1/25th wire wheels . I still have all of the drawings and instructions for both 1/25th and 1/16th scale wheels .

gasser59 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Very cool Bob. What metal parts did you use for the hub portion and outer rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codi Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Now THAT'S precision. Great job on those Bob. I have a 1/25th lacing tool that I bought from micronitro several years ago. Never used it.  Won't be of any help to Errol however. Sorry, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Can you post the instructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The written instructions are lengthy and can be a bit confusing so I posted the photos to Fotki . One picture is worth a thousand words right ? Here's the link . Wire Wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff f Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Earlier this year I built some 1/8 scale 18" wires . Hub and rim made from aluminum , wires are .015 music wire. Decided on 36 spoke wheel and built a jig. I bent .050 length of the wire 90 degrees to hook the hub. A real challenge for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAT-T Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 THOSE LOOK GREAT JEFF, HOW DID YOU ATTACH THE SPOKE TO THE RIM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Jeff.... those are some NIce wire wheels. They look great. I would Loce to try and lace some wheels some time. Would love to see what you are going to put these on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Those look great, but is there an alternative to using music wire. Last time I used music wire for something, it started to rust and eventually disintegrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was intending on writing and drawing up instructions for using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
