500 K cafe racer conversion - build thread
z1100r:
The spokes with the longest nipple shank go on the outside. In other words poke the threaded bit of these from hub centre outwards. The spokes with the shorter nipple shank are poked through the hub holes from outside to in. They dont fit any other way without force.
I'm not on about spoke length, I'm on about just the nipple, the outside spokes are longer from nipple to bend.
Well thats what I did..

plain (as it can get ) english award to z1100...... Ive modified my last post, using your words. I think we were in the same place :D Words., who'd ave em. I'll do some pictures when I get time to do another rebuild of the front wheel.
Bryan , I think we;re also in the same place re which spokes go where. I'll try your 20 spokes first method and let u know , sounds sensible to me.
Almost feel as if I might know what I'm doing next time around 8)

sorry to hijack the the thread, but ive been following it, as i'm thinking of replacing mine with new rims and spokes, what do you think of the quality of dss rims and where did you get the spoke wrench from. any advice would be appreciated.
Bryanj:
DSS sells japanese rims direct from the manufacturer and the one i had was superb.
Spoke key wrench you may find ata pushbike shop as they used to be circular with lots of sizes on them
