Spokes-One by One

(1/2) > >>

Eldrick:
Planning for the winter here, I want to replace the spokes on both wheels.
Is it possible to literally remove an old spoke and repace it with the new one and repeat the process to the end?
My train of thought on this is to make sure I lace the wheels up properly.
Thanks.

DomP:
Nope it's a full disassemble, reassemble job. Very satisfying to do though and not as difficult as you might think, take photos of your wheel as it is now so you have a reference

Eldrick:
OK, I can get on board with that.

Any reccomemndations on spoke wrenches to use? Or any other useful tools for the job?I don't think I even have a tyre lever.

DomP:
I bought Motion Pro rim protectors and some nice long tyre levers can't remember the brand but they make the job easy.  Initially thread the nipples on loosely otherwise you'll never get the last few spokes in.  Torque and true up on an old swing arm or even on the bike, lots of YouTube videos to give you a good guide.  Remember to measure the offset before you disassemble!

Nurse Julie:
No offset on CB SOHC/4's.
