Early Sixes - where is the part #?

[yopurp]

Shawn (and others),

I noted on another post that you just got some deep sixes. I've noted they should have the 901 part #, but can you tell me where its located? Is it on the backside of one of the spokes, or is it on the inner part of the rim itself? I've read about replicas elsewhere and want to be sure the ones I'm getting are the real deal. If you have a pic of where on the wheel its located, I'd appreciate it.

PS - Jared - I've put a word in for a single piece bumper deco strip. Didn't sound like they had one based on the reaction I got, and didn't sound like it would be soon before they found another one. I checked the 5 early rollers in the shop and none of them had a 1 piece trim. They said they'd keep an eye out. BTW, how much are the replacement kits and do you have an idea of what a single piece would go for? Just so I've got an idea if one comes up.

The part number is on the back side of the spoke, both on the early 901 deep six and later Fuchs. Look for the Foxes head and also a date stamp between the bolt holes. This deep six has webs on the back of the spokes which my 911 sixes don't have.

Nick,

Thanks (see I work for a UK company and am used to being up early dealing with the folks on that side of the pond, so it apropos that you responded). The ones I saw are a bit more to the inside of the spoke (the middle of the white area on your pic). Your arrow goes toward the outer edge of the spoke next tothe rim itself. Is that correct (did you mean to be that specific)? I didn't notice the fox head but I'll make sure to check next time.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris

I am pointing to the web not the part #. That is in the centre of the spoke.

Ah, got it. Those webs (now that i notice them )seem pretty distinct and hard to copy. I'll look on Monday to confirm. Thanks again Nick

Sorry Chris, tossed the MT bike in the back of my truck early this morning and left town. Broke my @$$ and some bike parts. Life is good.

The early deep 6's I bought are scheduled for delivery to my office on Wednesday next week...which may mean Friday in Alaska arrival reality.

If you can wait, I will take some pics of the back side (sounds like porn again) to show the pn and the little graphic fox head. If I remember correctly it consists of three triangles (two little ears and a pointly nose) to make up the foooks.

Unless...someone here can beat me to it.

Tired an beat up, Shawn.

The Fuchs logo is top left on this picture of 9 x 16

Nick, I remember is differenty. I trust your experience...and I haven't seen the little fox in a while. But, I do remember it in another graphic.

Must have hit my head as well aas my arse today.

Shawn.

I have tried to get a picture of the Fuchs logo on my deep six, but it is too indistinct, I can't even see the"eyes" just the fox's head

Nick - that is not the fox head!

Here are some pictures of the part number & fox head on the early 'deep dish' & later 'flat face' 6 x 15" Fuchs:
