Canabalism of spinergy wheel (cooked) ridden and good as new

[marin man]

I had two front spinergy wheels and wanted a pair so have removed the hub assembly from one front one and kept the carbon perfectly intact :shock: I have a spare rear hub (spinergy) and am going to put the carbon wheel =rim and spokes,onto the rear hub which I have taken apart into its component parts :shock: careful reassembly and some lovely two part glue and hey presto one rear wheel................and I am going to use it as well :shock:

I just rode to work and got the wheel,pics below.
As you can see the flanges on the hub join of the wheel are intact (after 4 hours work :shock: ) how the hub fits together is rather clever,there is a tube of aluminium which has two ridges on it at either end,then there are two seperate alloy flanges,and a central alloy collar,which slide together in the centre of th wheel,you then push the hub assembly coated in epoxy through the previous assembled central parts and then check for trueness before the glue hardens and bob's your uncle,in theory I have yet to finish taking the rear hub apart but the carbon remnants on the rear hub should be despatched easily with the dremel

I have just popped the hub in the oven for 20 mins at 220c bake until moist hopefully this will remove the last of the glue and then I can knock it apart with my favourite tool ........a big mallet then it gets a good clean with acetone and a rough up for a good key then threaded through the centre of the carbon after it
has been coated in glue and hey presto........front to rear in about 2 days work :shock: also it has taken me three diamond tipped drill bits to clean the carbon out and they are not too cheap.......(got them off a dentist I know though and they throw them away now and again)
