Excel front rim
 
I had to change my front rim before our trip to Africa, because I noticed a crack next to the dent I got in Morocco. It wasn't a problem riding around here, but I couldn't take the chance. I allways wanted stainless spokes anyway. I can't say it was easy, it took several hours, and the beer wasn't helping the concentration.

This proces took more than an hour, I got it to 0.5mm runout in both directions, which is good enough for me.

Bought via touratech for 250 euro, but really comes from Haan wheels in Holland.

Nice Job. Talon would be a good source of all things Rim and hub related..

Hope all stays true for Africa.

Titbird, Nice job.
The stock Sanremo rim is not holding up to our rocky roads and would like to replace front rim with an Excel.
Could you give us more details as the Haan local agents say they do not stock a replacement rim for the Tenere.
Also interested in the spokes, mine have rusted!
Thanks

Nice work, what did the new spoke set cost?
