Spoke Lacing

Hi,

Does anyone know anybody that can lace new spokes?

Thanks!

Lacing is easy I usually do that myself, its the tightening/truing of the wheel after the lacing thats a pain in the ***

Anyways any shop that deals with dirt or trail bikes should be able to lace and true spoked wheels

Not much to teach, just look at the other wheel for the lacing pattern and copy it....Little bit of fiddling and youll figure it out....There are a few different patterns thou depending on the wheel size and number of spokes....Some are single cross over, double or even 4 cross. And make sure you separate the inner and outer spokes properly, if they have different bends in the ends....Mine did

what kind of wheels are you lacing.

There are differences based on the use.

You want a different setup for MX style wheels vs a Supermoto style wheel.

If you're stuck, I can do it, I've done LOTS of them.

Gonna have to hit you up for my next truing job, I got charged up the *** just to true my wheels...I thought I would save some money lacing myself and just having them trued, but it was still really expensive IMO for a 10" wheel set....
 
I don't have the workspace for DIY yet. Anyone recommend a place? I know it's about $40 just to take the tires on and off so how much will it be for the rest?
 
Johnny,

There's a couple of tricks that make it a bit easier.

I've got a pretty good system for making SM style wheels tubeless as well.



Surein, what kind of wheels are you building?

What type of equipment did you purchase.

PM reciprocity he can do everything required for you, tires, lacing, truing, and most importantly testing!
 
I have a 73 CB750 with rusty spokes. I was thinking of getting new sets. reciprocity let me know if can do this and obviously a price.
 
Just another option, not to take work away from the locals, is to ship your hubs to Bucannan in the US, they build the spokes and run a wheel build service, they are the people many vintage guys use.
 
If Donovan doesn't really want to do it, Donald (toastman) at Platinum Powersports can.
