Does anyone have an easy to floow guide for respoking a wheel?, not the truing part, just lacing the spokes into the rim...


Cheers

There is one already fitted to your bike. Copy it. Digital photos are useful.

Last one I did (when I was young and stupid before I knew about truing wheels etc) I taped one rim to the other then moved the spokes up to the new rim one at a time. I still have that wheel, it is surprisingly straight considering I never used a jig Rolling Eyes

Well, if I hadn't taken them all off a few months ago, of course I would be doing just that, and, I have a few pics of the wheels before I removed the spokes, but, still i find it difficult to translate from 2D to 3D when I am actually sitting in frint of the rims and spokes.

So, do you have a guide to follow? That is my question friend.
