Great vid.. thought about doing mine since I want to powder coat them. When you run up the spokes initially with the screw driver, is it much torque? I thought about just taking the average exposed threads of the spoke to initially tighten before truing.
@woppini No, i went around ins tages,I just got them started by a few threads to make sure they would not fall off(the nipple).then I gradudually go around tightening side to side little by little rotating from different areas of the wheel.
so is that wheel still holding out ? I would have liked to see evry step you did to true it ....everybody tells me not to even try but i did some research and its about half and half .... people saying do and people saying dont ... I think i'll just buy a new one laced ...good video tho
@jadafi ..it's doin good and this was not hard all the spokes are the same size and i just took a picture of the wheel before hand so I could look at how it needed to be.also found a few videos that were helpfull.like I said it really wasn't that difficult at all.I taped a penclil on my swing arm to guide the trueing progress
Nice job and F ya! .. it takes plenty of COURAGE! The first time I tried it, I went with pure instinct and warped the hell out of my rim. Had to raplace everything! I like the sped up time coding and no nonsesnse instruction of it all! 100 years ago I released a VHS "learning to wheelie". Good tape. Very detailed. I have to re-release it sometime. I will adopt some sped up sections to keep it moving!
i charge £30 per wheel , strip and rebuild , plus £60 for heavy duty s/s spokes , plus any anodizing or powdercoating you may want

@woppini you can get torque spoke wrenches so that would be the best way other than screwing your self

Ran that bike pretty hard! Nice job on the spokes, out of everything on the bike changing a tire is prolly the most feared!
Disc brake, reminds me of having to tear my CR500 caliper apart thing was stuck shut.
