Your attention to detail is ON POINT I’m very meticulous about EVERYTHING I do when I’m working on my bike, and you obviously are the same😎 I’ll be doing the wheels on my ‘07 CR250 very soon, and this video will help me ALOT Mahalo

Awesome to hear, thanks so much for the comment! Good luck with the CR wheels, sweet you’ve got an 07!

Kincade, thanks so much for your tutorial. Got my 1970 Honda SL's rear wheel spoked and tuned! Your tutorial was EXACTLY what I needed! Never done this before, and used an archaic tuning stand but it still worked. Thanks again !

Hello thanks for sharing i have a question, what if i know the hub and rim match but because i am trying a custom rim diameter i don’t know the length of the spokes.

Thanks for the details in this video, re spoking/ trueing a wheel has always been intimidating to me. Now I think I can handle it. I have a yz 300 build in process, I'm not so patiently waiting for my cylinder/ head to get back from Eric Gorr, gonna run a 72mm Wossner piston. Power seal and Millenium Technologies are awesome to work with also. I'm excited to see your finish build and will buy some tickets to maybe get lucky and have a chance at winning it

That's awesome! I'll be running a Wossner piston as well for this build. I'd love to see yours when it's finished! Good luck lacing your wheels - you'll find it satisfying.

Enjoyed the vid and you explained the process with tips well. What do you think about tapping on the spokes for even sound tone and or torque to a spec and then tweak ?

I have a weird question. Is it possible to lace a front wheel hub into a rear wheel rim ? I ask this because 17” supermoto wheels are hard to find for my bike. This way I could have 18” SM wheels. Technically it’d be 2 rear wheels but the front would just have the front hub to suit so it’d bolt back on.

Is it necessary to torque spokes after truing the wheel?

@brettlaage9687 Жыл бұрын

MXrevival just had a video on lacing and truing. I’m pretty sure Uncle Tony had a method of installing spokes where you don’t have to force the spokes at all. I know I had to do what you did as well. My used rim is a little too beat up. I’m going to have to lace it up again with a new rim. The cerakote looks great as does the whole wheel, and bike for that matter. I like the colors. I’ll be watching this again for sure when I get a new rim as I’ve only done this once before. I thought it was kinda fun.

@brettlaage9687 Жыл бұрын

Also I would have made the same mistake with the truing stand. Thanks for pointing that out. That rear sprocket is so bad ass! It really is like the icing on the cake. Now I’m just going to have to spend more money and buy one 😂

@KincadePavich Жыл бұрын

I saw he posted that right as I was about to render my video out haha! Our builds are on similar timeframes for a few components... Stoked to see his YZ finished as well! Thanks a lot for watching, and hope it helps next time you do lace a wheel! I also think lacing wheels is kinda fun. It's a very satisfying task.

hi one question the larger spokes where they go?

@Outdew Жыл бұрын

Great video, what if you had one broken spoke you were replacing. Would you loosen all others before adding spoke or just add new spoke? (its basically true with a missing spoke)

@KincadePavich Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I would just replace the one spoke and then true it from there if it needed any work. No need to loosen the rest first!

@bckz281083 6 ай бұрын

Did you end up torquing all of the spokes? I want to build up a new wheel and I’m just not sure if I want to purchase a spoke torque wrench that I will probably only use once. Just looking for your thoughts on the importance of it?

Be careful for any offset on the rear wheel otherwise when you install your wheels they will not be running in line,. Front hubs usually dead center but as you see with the rear with different length spokes if you pull the rim to the left or right when trueing it you will change the position of the tyre in the swing arm left or right of the center line and seriously effect the handling.

@Mr10usdad Жыл бұрын

Does the truing stand really make it a lot easier? Last time I tried the wheel on the bike.

@KincadePavich Жыл бұрын

I certainly think so. It's not mandatory, but I think it's very helpful.

So the tusk rim will fit on an oem hub??

Yep!

@331moto 10 ай бұрын

If you thread all the inner spokes thru first, then the outer, then thread the nipples on, they don't bind as much.

why do people charge so much for wheels.. people act like they have discovered a wheel

@linus5699 4 ай бұрын

Dont be fooled. Truing a beat up used rear dirt bike rim is not that easy. They have dents from probably 2 rim locks, dents from hard landings, and dents after using tire irons.. truing a new rim is super easy.
