Re-lacing rims?
Permalink  
 


Basically, my brother has a TMEC 125, some ****ty chinese four stroke. I've taken a look at his wheels and I want them as their Supermoto size, width etc. They won't fit my bike as standard so.. I'm thinking..

Where could I go to get his rims, laced onto my original hubs?

I'm thinking you're going to need custom spacers.

Hi Carlos ,check my thread in projects and do them your self then just have them checked over ,my local shop charges £35 per wheel so not to sad if you do have to pay out,your gonna need custom spokes too,as said above spacers need to be made aswell ,good luck dude, Ps I'm gonna lace my rear wheel soon and get the hubs powder coated red so I could help you with how to measure them properly etc

But I'd rather just cut the spokes off his rims and then lace them to my hubs, means I don't have to **** about with spacers and spindles (As his spindle is matchstick size) compared to mine..

Plus it means I get to figure out how to build my own wheels! :D

Gadget, Where would I get custom spokes from? Or could I just use the spokes from his wheels? on my hubs? I'll upload pictures soon
