ix weaves flat caps?

[stevetrocs]

I am looking for caps for my ix weaves but I am looking for flats ones, not the standard raised type. I remember seeing a post taking about them but haven't been able to find it again.

I would even be ok covering the center opening and not covering the lugs.

Any ideas?

ix weaves and 'euroweaves' share the same center cap.

This may be the thread you recall:

http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=112386

.. which addresses the modification of a cap to make it flat.

To my knowledge, a flat cap wasn't made for the ix/euroweave/15" wheel.

The challenge of modding the regular cap involves figuring out a way for the cap to be removable/installable once it has been ‘flattened’.

For that, you might be able to work with 'bottlecap-centers', like on this wheel:

I have bottle caps. I am going to try that first. Of course I only have 3 of the center for them.

I like the way the flat caps look though.

Thanks for your help!

Do you think these will work?

No idea.
Looks like the diameter might be right.
Style 10s aren't very frequent in the states.
Concern would be how that flat/circle cap looks when mated up to the weave-spokes.
Then there's attachment.. (?)
Personally, I just rock bCap 'caps' in the name of cost/outcome/aesthetics.

Im off and on with this project. I have 2 other euroweaves (spares) and a whole set of caps that I have been playing with. The only way I got it to work is to get a long flatheaded screw and go thru the cap and into the wheel. I just havent found a screw that I like. It will take 2 screws to work.

Oh, just one of my many projects. Ill try to update the pix.

[Simon S]

Cool. Cool.
Thanks for chiming in.
You've become like the euroweave King to me over the years. lol

[N2MYE30]

Haha, well "king" is a mighty word...


...I do have 10 of them. :shock:

[stevetrocs]

I tried the bottlecap caps and they don't fit. The opening it to big for the cap to clip on. N2MYE30 I would love see some pics to get some ideas.
