Try Woody's Wheel Works in Denver. He taught me to lace up indestructible M=
X wheels 40 years ago. If you ever visit the shop you will see stacks of Bo=
rrani's and Halibrands from all over the country in for re-build, straighte=
ning & repairs. ( NFI )=20

If he can't fix it it probably can't be fixed.=20

two of the 13x6 cosmics for my GT6 are developing hairline cracks in the hu=

I'm thinking an aluminum sleeve could be machined and welded inside the hub=

I can't find anyone local who wants to mess with it. =C2=A0Any recommendati=

Hate to give up on them - they're a nice period piece and are otherwise ove=
rbuilt, but when drilled for this bolt hole spacing it took just a bit too =
much off the hub, 45 years ago! =C2=A0=20
Lastly, any good wheel alternatives - no offense to anyone, but I'd like no=
