Great video!  Definitely nothing like Chris Quinn's Mr. Wheel Works 'old skool" place in Hayward, Ca.  I had the opportunity to visit the place and meet the man shortly after the article below was published....fwiw.

Do you think that’s how it’s done in Japan? Or China?

Nope!

Love the weld protection at the 2:29 mark

I've read about Central Wheel Components for years - they've got quite the operation.   :cool:

That sprocket factory is straight out of Dickens, isn't it?!
And the rim factory isn't much better.

An OSHA inspector would have a heart attack watching one of
those videos, eh? I'm always amazed at the footwear in these
Indian factories. Open toed sandals -  amazin'.
