The front disk brake rotors were also a bit of a challenge the rotor itself was separate from the mount and held together with a small “pin” washer and “C” clip times 6 on each side than screwed on to the wheel.
The tires are heavy almost solid rubber/plastic (rear tire over 6 inches in diameter and almost 2 inches wide) and were very difficult to fit on the wheels. I had to soak them in hot water to get them on the wheel. The front tire, 5.5 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches wide was difficult but fairly simple compared to rear wheel. I managed to press it on in the hot water with plenty of clear dish liquid as a lubricant. The rear tire i was able to get one small section on underwater but the rest I had to put in a drill press with a piece of wood cover to keep it from being marred and press it into place, with some patience, a lot trepidation it worked. No pic of the wheels you can see them on the bike…photos attached
There are still tons of decals to be added but I didn’t want to put them on for fear of ruining them. Still more tubing to be added. As stated, many miles before I sleep on this one and it’s so heavy I can barley move it around on the kitchen table More pics later today or this week
