48 Spoke Rear Wheel Questions
I was in the market for a beater bike, & found this 1984 Fuji Touring Series III for $10. Plenty of surface rust on the frame, but looks like it will clean up enough for my purposes. One thing I didn't notice until I got it home was the 48 spoke rear Ukai Rim & Specialized Hub. Front wheel is another Ukai with a Sunshine Hub. The rear axle clearly extends beyond the dropouts (don't know how I missed that when I was first looking it over) & appears to be from a tandem bike.
My two questions are: can I easily swap another axle onto the rear wheel? And who actually made Specialized Hubs?
