Dammit! Well, I've eliminated the speedo, so shouldn't matter too much.

Unfortunately no, far too much to go on a shoestring budget. Next I assemble a roller and it goes off to have the exhaust built, but only booked in for August. Will need the time to save - stainless exhaust ain't cheap!

Not that difficult at all really, just took some time to get things round and true. I'd have a go at it.

Post by: JamesH on May 14, 2015, 10:52:39 AM: Great work Mr T - how long did it take you to lace and true each wheel?
Title: Re: Wheels done - pics!
Post by: JustcallmeMrT on May 14, 2015, 12:04:52 PM: Lacing the first took me a bit over an hour, the second only took about 30 minutes. Trueing was the tricky bit. The front wheel went in first and only needed minimal adjustment. I was being super cautious with it though and got it within 0.2mm after about an hour. Rear wheel was trickier. Spent an hour on it one evening and every time I seemed to get one area sorted it would mess up another. I was getting frustrated so left it until the next day. With a clear head I got it to within 0.3mm within half an hour or so. I'm a bit worried about tension, but each spoke has the same 'pinging' tone, so will try it and see!
