    hi guys, new to the truxton ownership and just brought this beauty, but im having some wheel issues ( i didnt look closely at them when i brought it, must have been distracted how nice the bike looks!) but the spokes have been left loose for a while and worn the center hub holes, now i can re tighten them but would prefer a new hub, anyone know where i can get them?
    thanks guys

    I think I’d countersink the heads deeper than find a hub on its own. You only need to ‘tickle’ them.

    in the pic it doesn’t look that bad. i’d first try tightening them up, if you know how. i’m not sure if there is a more current method, but i used to do that job with a spoke ( bicycle one will do) wrench and a tuning fork.

    Agree, don’t go mad with the tightening and you won’t pull the rim out of line.
