Any one know if it's possible to repair the horn push on these wheels.

Just got it off a zero feedback Newbie Knobhead, i asked him -Dose the horn push work, possitive answer so i got it, guess what No workie!! :-x

I have mailed him, no luck, dished out the negative feedback, other than go round and brake his legs, i've got a wheel that needs repair!

Be great if some genious has done this before :wink:

I'm assuming you mean the old four-spoke one? If you take it apart, there's nowt to it. But first, try cleaning the contact on the steering column, this was the prob with mine.

If that doesn't work, proper ones are about £20 from Walloth & Nesch, or I have a spare one with a Momo badge...

I had the same problem(not with a MOMO} and wired the horn push directly to the column...no probs after that

Yes mate the 4 spoke Momo, the wires that conect to the push pads are loose, seems like peeling the leather back to get at it though???

Different one, yours is the newer four spoke; mine is the older one, with four metal spokes and a central horn push, sorry.
