13 - Back wheel

 I've still a couple of days before I go back to work, so between trying to do a load of other jobs I took the back wheel apart, mainly to get the spoke carrier off so it could be re-chromed.

 Never in my life have I seen a tyre so hard to get off. It was as hard as the road and took a while, but I got there, It had been on for 20 years. 

 I'll send the carrier to R&S in Manchester, they did some bits for an RD125 I have and they came back good. In the meantime I'll polish up the hub and rim, put in new bearings and seals.
