Replace the spokes of a motorcycle model
#replacespokes #motorcyclemodel #wheel
I made a jig to increase the efficiency of spoke replacement.
It is recommended to separate the rim and hub when replacing the hub with a disc brake type, when wanting to clean and paint the rim seam, or when drilling holes on the hub side is difficult.
Then replace the spokes.
Therefore, I needed a jig to align the hub with the center of the rim, so I made my own jig for replacing spokes on BMW wheels.
The spokes passing through the hub side of BMW are not bent spokes, so drilling is troublesome.
Impressions of spoke replacement using a jig
I recommend it because it was beautiful and easy to make, such as painting, finish condition, time to completion.
It's nice to be able to change from drum brakes to disc brakes as long as you have a hub.
Material
3mm thick plastic plate
5mm plastic square bar
insect pin
brass tube
1 12 cm square plate with a thickness of 3 mm
Four 2 cm x 5 cm rectangular plates with a thickness of 3 mm
5mm plastic square bar
Wheel and rim offset spacers as needed
The shaft that penetrates the rim is a brass pipe that matches the shaft diameter.
Method
Drill holes in the rim and hub
Same drilling angle on rim and hub
Two sets of spokes facing each other
Set it on a jig and check the center
Assemble the next two pairs of spokes face-to-face and secure with instant glue.
After assembling the four pairs of spokes, separate them from the jig and assemble the remaining spokes.
Set it on the jig, check the center and fix it with adhesive.
It can accommodate motorcycle wheel sizes from 1/12 to 1/6.
Thank you very much.
