Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 7, 2014 Member Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yes, lots in the archives: 1 2 3 4 5 6 If you could describe the new and old bits someone might know a more precise answer... But have you considered replacing the top bit of the column with one that fits the new wheel without modification? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2GBR Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Just about to do this and the wheel i am fitting has a marked position for the centre on the reverse side, So masking tape over the reverse side mark the centre point then a compass to mark out the pcd of the quick release boss then with the compass divide the circumference up for the three holes drill a pilot hole then drill to actual size then countersink if required Edited by - 2GBR on 7 Apr 2014 16:58:57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 That's how I've always drilled mine. Also use a drill stand to ensure holes are drilled 'straight' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 One of the grads pages has a scale pdf to print out. May be linked above. That is what we did, alight the centre hole with the paper template and mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Lef Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 my new wheel is a Spa D shaped 255. tried to apply the suggested Momo template (hoping it might work) not confident enough to go ahead and drill; though. My old wheel was a racetech (round and 260) centre marker is 1/2cm lower on the centre face than the new Spa wheel. I find myself pulling faces at the 'pcd measurement thingy' and was wondering whether someone could give me a step by step set of instructions as if it it was being given to janet and john thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a link that would show us the MOMO template you want to use? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a link that would show us the MOMO template you want to use? The Spa wheel has a wheel centre marker and I think I have the old lifeline QR mech (black) if this helps. I can try and post a pic of the new wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
