Breaking her in

Some folks have had problems with the reproduction spinners/knock offs, whereas others seems to be happy with them. Just so you are prepared to know what to look/listen out for, you might want to read this thread:

Personally, I bought a job lot of 8 original Albion Brockhouse spinners on eBay a few years ago and, if I ever get around to it, will have them refinished to replace my tattier originals. Meanwhile I carry a couple of spares (one L, one R) on all my long road trips in memory of the “one that got away” on the 2013 California Oil Leak, resulting in a friend’s XK120 getting awfully close to following his wheel as it rolled to the edge of a 500ft sheer drop at the side of the road in Kings Canyon…
