I used a very sharp razor knife for the outer insulation and stripped the inner wires with a wire stripper (must be careful.) I used a standard splice by seperating the conductor strands and uniting the two and butt spliceing them. That wire size is small the wires are color coded white and black. With the location yours is in you would have to careful when stripping the outer insulation to keep your strut connecter intact.
Wheel wire professional#
If done in a professional maner it looks pretty good. If you repair this way just be sure to separate the two conductors and insulate them seprately if they make contact it will engage your abs intermittantly. (I looked for a vender and couldn't find one.) I decided to go with what I had. You could go salvage on the whole wire itself. It is criticle to properly externally boot or it will kick out the same code. Mine was indicating a short to abs sensor on the right side when scanned with VCDS. Do the location and wheel movement the abs wire gets a lot of stresses from different angels, it looks looks like your getting an external short from water comeing off the tire. the outer insulated area needs to be sealed for water and road contamination. The two wires need to insulated seprately after splicing to prevent them from contacting each other. It is tricky and requires detail as far as the spliceing and soldering. There are two wires inside the insulation and they are 24 awg, I added an extra three inches and soldered in the two extra splice wires. I replaced my front struts this summer and I broke the original splice. I actually decided to change it up for Halloween and wired on a creepy spider skeleton…which is kind of funny because I didn’t think spiders had a skeleton haha.I actually repaired mine using a soldered splice. There are so many fun things you can do with a bicycle wheel and this is just one of them. It allows other things to have a focus as well and not allow something to overpower the rest of the decor. I wanted to keep this wreath simple….I think that there is a pattern here. I used a faux greenery as the base, securing the bunches to the bicycle wheel and then added a few of my flowers to the top of it.Īt this point, you’re just trying to arrange the flowers in a pattern that works for you. You can use this technique on any wreath, allowing you more flexibility on how you use them. I then can use these flowers on my bicycle wheel wreath and easily secure them to the wheel. I twist the wire around this to secure it in the flower allowing the wire to stay hidden and secure. This creates a space to put the piece of light gauge wire. I grab a hold of the flower petals and hold them all together to separate the flowers from the base of the stem. The secret to securing the flowers is this image right above. Here is also a few up close pictures showing how I secured the greenery and flowers to the bicycle wheel:

And I though this would also be the easiest way to show you! Check out my helpful video no how to make a bicycle wheel wreath in no time! I decided to create a Facebook live video for my friends on my Twelve On Main Facebook page. And believe it or not, I have already changed this bicycle wheel wreath twice since I have made this one. It allows you to be able to completely take apart your wreath and start anew if that is what you desire. This is when I started using light gauge wire to build and secure my wreaths. I love creating things, but I find myself quickly changing my mind and wishing I could backup and change it up again.
My husband shook his head as I picked it up and threw it in the back of our pickup truck. KEEP READING TO SEE HOW EASY IT WAS TO MAKE.Ībout 2 years ago, on a drive around town, we came across a junk pile, and in this junk pile there was an old rusted metal bicycle wheel.
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL IN MERE MINUTES THAT COULD ADD CHARACTER TO YOUR HOMES DECOR? THIS SUPER EASY BICYCLE WHEEL WREATH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
