dirt dame 559 Posted June 18, 2012 I will be having a wheel up for relacing in a little while. I really don't have the patience for this task anymore, so I was wondering if anybody had a recommendation for a local shop that does a good job of this. A good place in north county would be the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneeker 29 Posted June 18, 2012 I'm curious too. Kenny in Santee is excellent but the distance from N County is not convenient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 508 Posted June 18, 2012 Yeah, I recommend Kenny at Santee Cycle Supply also. Business is slow, he needs some work. 619-449-0344. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amgems 79 Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks for the responses. I'll check these places out, as soon as my spokes get here. Rudy at Pro Prept suspension Or Joe at Racers Machine Both in Escondido I'm "pretty sure" they both do wheel lacing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve_k 0 Posted June 28, 2012 Another +1 for Rudy at Pro Prept. He did my forks and shocks on one of my RM250's. Good work, fair prices, and turn around time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 559 Posted July 17, 2012 I ended up doing it myself, after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 508 Posted July 17, 2012 Wow, kudos to you for having the patience to learn and do it Mimi ! I know it's a pain in the butt and takes time and patience to get it true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 559 Posted July 18, 2012 Wow, kudos to you for having the patience to learn and do it Mimi ! I know it's a pain in the butt and takes time and patience to get it true. Actually, I used to do it from time to time when I ran a full time repair shop. The later style wheels are nice because they have straight pull spokes. On old rims like the one pictured above with raised flanges, and inner and outer spokes, you have to make sure that you get your pattern memorized, the offsets are measured, lace all the inners first, and use a tightening sequence that will get you pretty close to true, remove axial runout first, then radial runout, adjust offset and snug down. And of course, it helps if you already have a truing stand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
