Improvement to regan spoke press
Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2022 10:21 am
I just completed respoking my wheels on my t using the regan spoke press. The rear wheels went without too much difficulty as the hole in the hub was close to 5/8 and. Did not allow the hub to tilt when. Pressing. but I had problems with the front as the plumbing bell reducer was much wider at the top allowing the hub tilt making it difficult to press down straight or to start the teepee. I found a solution by cutting 2 discs from 3/4 inch plywood using a 1 1/4 inch hole saw which gives a 1 1/8 od disc . I glued the two together then bored a 5/8 hole. This sits perfectly in the hub and captures the hub straight on the rod. With this I had no problem pressing the hub on straight
