Beautiful! Simply explained and demonstrated. Thanks D-Ray! After watching, I feel confident in lacing and truing a rim for the first time.

Its easy! All thats required is being able to count, you explain it ,so well everyone can understand.

Appreciated. Best paced and easy to follow video I seen. Cheers

Thanks so much for sharing this how to video! I am restoring a Honda cb72 from 1965 and I was trying (with some difficulty) to polish the wheel hubs with the spokes still in place when I came across this video. You have made a high quality video that is very easy to follow and for that reason I will now be able to remove and relace the spokes easily myself! Thanks again kindest regards Robert Z. Tasmania down under!!!

Love this video, straightforward, no extra bs, excellent filming on procedures and great explanation and commentary. Thank you for posting!!

Thank you, great video. I was getting in a right mess before watching your video.

Thanks D-Ray, I’m about to re lace my 09’ H-D Super Glide. Dyna’s are notorious for ruining rear wheels due to the pulley bolts backing out and it’s happened to me. Thanks again for your time. Keep it up.

Bout to lace up my klr650 front wheel.....first vid i find.....D Ray showing how to lace a klr650 wheel....friggen awesome! Very informative, no longer stressing this swap....thanx brother!

Pleasure to see a pro work and do his stuff, Thank you Sir.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm from San Antonio, Tx; I can't find anyone that knows how or is probably too time consuming for them and won't do it. I'll keep watching your videos. I hope to start doing my own wheels soon🙏🏼

Excellent video! I was going to buy a new wheel for a bike I'm restoring but now I'm thinking I might try lacing my own! Cheers mate.

Nice, I Lak the waye you poot that thar spoke own dem rims boy howdy!

Thank you for making this video.

Man you make feel so comfortable to try this too. Thank you

Looks like it takes a lot of patience and experience. Great work.

Watching this in 2021, Ray...what an informative video. I'm going to do my MZs wheels and then maybe start a business!

Thanks man, finally got enough free time to do a vid, lol!

Thank you for this video, you have just made it so clear.

Thanks for the video, it's the best one I've followed for this job. Now for part 2

this is what I need, thank u very much

Awesome video! Really helpful and I happen to have the same bike so here's a thumbs up!

Hi this is the best video on lacing and truing a spoke wheel. The only thing I'm not sure about is calculating or knowing the hub offset if you are building a wheel from scratch, the wheel is already apart and therefore nothing to measure from original wheel. Any advice?. Thanks

Great stuff Jeff, My next job on the old Norton.

Thanks D-Ray. I have a custom hub with just straight across holes, and spokes angles are short and long so they become outer (short) and inner (long), but thanks to your excellent instructions I was able to lace it with only a few hiccups along the way. Now to true it. The spokes and nipples are new (chrome) and instructions are to oil screw and nipple before truing. You OK with that?

How do you determine appropriate spoke length? I'm going to be having some rings cut to fit old Honda comstar wheels so I can lace them up to some 17" hoops, but I haven't had a lot of luck finding out what the appropriate spoke length should be

D-Ray - what resources do you know of to find replacement rims and spoke parts for vintage motorcycles with spoke wheels? I'm restoring a 1971 Honda Trail 90 and finding new wheels has been hard. Thanks, Dan

Very helpful indeed!

Hey thanks D-Ray, this really helped me out - appreciate you man!

I had 1 spoke break. I fixed it. I just had 2 more break. I have warp 9 sm wheels on a WR250R. What can I do to fix this problem? I tension the spokes by the sound test and by feel I’d say the are 3-4ft/lbs. I try not to over tighten them at all. Thanks.

Very satisfying.

Convinced me to have a go on a cr80 project rear rim, electrosis has eaten through the rim where the rim lock was (sitting out in the tropical weather)

Great Video, only problem is , I can only count to three

Oh that’s easy just time consuming how long does it take?

When I cleaned mine up, I stuck the nipples and the spokes in my wet tumbler for ammo brass with some dawn and brasso. Cleaned 'em up good!

OUCH! How did he do that without breaking bones?

this is my job also here in Philippines

Git-Er-Dun D-Ray!

Hello there, your video is really helpfull! I really thank you for it, like and sub!!!

Proper Instructions

One

good thing to do is cock up the spokes in the oil in full eat

This is how I die

forgot to measure the offset??? ;)

hahah he said nipple

them some ugly spokes!
