    Re: Cost of lacing wheels?

    If they're still together it's a lot easier. There are usually 4 different types of spokes (Drive inner and outer, Brake inner and outer) - Length and bend angles are different. On the rim - use a sharpie pen and write 1, 2, 3, 4 on the rim next to the spoke nipple, follow the spokes back to the hub - and write which spoke it is... If it's a directional rim write which side is the brake.

    I use a cordless screwgun to zip off the spoke nipples, and cut the spokes that are siezed. Putting it back together is a breeze if it's marked. Take it to a shop to true it, or if you can find someone to work with you - try it yourself. It can be a breeze, or an absolute nitemare...

    I can do all, but you'd have to ship to VT.

    I always wanted a motard, and finally rode one a month ago and fell in love.






    I think it's a good way to get the girl out to learn to ride.
