I have done this twice over the years, added a 3.00 rear rim Borani style Morad rim to a standard twin leader hub, and learned the hard way about issues. So these rims are the best option cost and quality-wise. Apparently, Borani has started up production in Italy and you can order genuine rims with the correct standard size spoke dimple from the Oz rep in Newcastle NSW, the Morad dimple is smaller not allowing the best spoke drilling to accommodate the extreme angle required to use the original double-crossing spoke patten. They are special order and cost double the $400 that the Morad is at your door from England and who knows how long for the Italian ones to arrive. The first time I did this I asked Central Wheel to drill the rim to be used on the original big hub, at that time I didn't know about the smaller dimple, so I took the bits to the wheelwright I used, now long dead and he was not happy with the drillings. He said he would have liked to do this himself, but he could hopefully get away with it. That wheel lasted 15 years till the spokes started pulling through the rim. So as the original wheel bloke was not around I found another bloke who reconned he could do a replacement, apparently not as the first wheel I used from him had 12 spokes brake on its first long ride, not happy was I. So take three, I found the bloke who bought George's wheel building gear and ordered a non drilled rim and dropped it all off. I remember George had a huge mill in his shed and the new bloke had bought it. These blokes don't like saying much about this stuff but I got the impression they made a jig and used both these to do the rim drilling. The second failed wheel was hand drilled using a cordless. The second wheel bloke used a single cross pattened also, he just did that without asking. And he when making the spokes used only 1 bend at the hub. That had the spokes touching where they pass one another. So getting all this to work on a big standard hub is far from easy. If yours is a small disc hub it should be a lot easier in all regards from spoke angle to tensioning. The third wheel on mine is doing really well, the only issue I had was the time it took to get done, the bloke is a good guy but god he was SLOW.
Is that the one that there were some pictures of on the forum when it was having the frame mods done?
