Tyred out.

Removed the tyres from the wheels tonight, in preparation for rebuilding them.  The rear tyre is a late 60's Avon, not in too bad condition considering it's age but no good for using anymore.

                            

The hubs look as if they may clean up OK, a bit of elbow grease and there appears to be unpitted aluminium underneath.  The spokes and rims are only fit for the bin though.



So the question is, do I attempt to rebuild them myself or spend a bit more money and get a wheel building specialist to do them?  How hard can it be?!
