Man Of Kent:
Hi, do you know if Maurice is still building wheels and does he supply stainless steel spokes.

Lobo:
I’ve recently rebuilt my ‘750 wheels, but last night stumbled across this Honda page which suggests the spokes torques should be around 2.5 ft lbs. (ballpark half of a standard M6 torque value). In my mixed brain this equates to 3kg or so at the end of my 4” spoke wrench… which in truth is nothing like I’ve been applying. Now having to rethink whether to book-torque before the wheels go back in. Bugger.

On eBay, some beautiful little torque wrenches, though a bit too pricey..
