Also in your reply to duplicate array with circular rotation I noticed that The option for circle center point is available but on next mouse click is greyed out and no matter what I do I cannot select that as an option? Any idea as to why?

In my further thoughts this makes a little more sense. However even if I created 1 how would I trim back the spoke? Is this with and model>add solids or subtract solids? To me that just seems like a silly way. I would have thought the intersect solids would have worked but it left a hole in the rim rather then subtracting the extra spoke material. To me it should be as simple as triming crossing a line in a standard plan view but it doesnt work that way?

I have a simple question here to ask. I have extruded the shape of a bicycle rim as well as sprokes that travel thru to the rim. Now the rim has a contour and I would like to trim the spoke back to match the contour of the rim but maybe I needed to to this before the extrude? Still VERY new to the 3d so be easy on me.
