    Well that’s the plan anyway I don’t think I’ll have much of a problem container chassis still use them 20 spokes And there is lots of them around and I am sure these days it’s a lot easier to find solid rims especially out here.Oooooooooooo by the was I’m not expecting to get them cheap... bob

    Oooooooooooo no offense taken.. my man ..... was just trying to figure out why you thought 3 was safer.... I’ve done a lot of them both.... you have to be very careful putting them both together,, from what I remember seems the 3 piece were mainly used on 1100 - 1200 24s 1000-20 were all 2 piece.... bob
