Reconditioning wheels (spokes)

[Buttso]

Does anyone know anywhere in the south preferably cork that reconditions Motorcycle spoked wheels?

the rims are good but the spokes are rusted badly..

loads of places in Dublin... but near me would be best..

cheers

DIY, got new rism and spokes (or sokes in your case), just rear few tutorials, watched few youtube video on the basics and just set about doing it.

had them all done, dropped them into local mech and he balanced and trued them out a bit better for 30e a wheel.

bargin and save yourself lot money as some charge lot to rebuilt them

your looking 60-70 for a set fo SS spokes maybe bit more is heay duty spokes

check rugged roads or the centra wheel company for spokes they are best 2 places to go for parts

hey John..

when you were doing your spokes.. did you get an even number of outside and inside spokes...?

unless I went mad and threw them out,.. I seem to have more outside spokes than inside.. 21-15...

I did have to cut a few out.. they were rusted to shite, I might have thrown them out with the rubbish that day..
I cant find anything about it on the web about it.. so I was hoping you would know..

I am ordering from central wheel.. so I don't want to make a balls of it..

cheers

I have rebuilt a few 'ordinary' wheels without any problem but I have heard that BMW tubeless spoked wheels are an absolute ba**ard to true due to them being kind of reversed (nipple at hub not rim)... I was considering doing the ones on my 1150 at some point and I did wonder about doing them one at a time as I think you can easily feed the new spoke down from rim to hub... not an option on ordinary wheels. Be good to hear how you get on and good luck!

(I'm assuming BTW you are referring to BMW spoked wheels )

hey Obduran550..

no its an old 82 suzuki dr 250s I am restoring... did the front wheel.. the spokes I have add up to 36... but I just find it odd that there is so much more of one than the other...

sorta solved the problem... cmsnl.com sell original Suzuki packs of spokes for the front and back wheel..... 40 euros a pack.. .so cheaper than central wheel.. and no need for postage.. and doesnt matter how many I still have..



thank fuck for that...
