Title: Respoking a wheel
Post by: Clive on January 12, 2017, 07:46:25 PM
Anyone on here able to, or know where I can get a rear motorcycle wheel respoked and obviously 'trued' afterwards?

Have got the wheel, and spokes are on the way.

Ideally reasonably local to Andover.

Thanks as always, in advance

Without wishing to volunteer him for a job he may not want, Mr Olds, here in Basingstoke, would be the very chap for that.
If not, my brother has a race car & general fabrication business in Marlborough. He can do it.

I have a wheel building jig here you can borrow if you want to have a go yourself?? It's not a hard job I taught myself using you tube videos. If you get really stuck I'll do it but it's not a job I enjoy ;)

This is near Cranborne - haven't heard about wheel building particularly but they have a good rep generally among classic bike owners.

This is quite entertaining and will strike a chord with some...........

Thanks all for the advice, and the good Mr Toad for the offer, but I've found somewhere in Andover that can get them done for me. Nick Lloyd motorcycles (ALWAYS forget about him for some reason!?!)
