Topic: Respoking , help please!

Hi

I'm in a pickle. Its huge, green and acidic...

Long story short, do I have a problem here?

Im respoking a cb750a, but the 90degree outer spokes, that are threaded thru the hub, arent coming close to the hole, only to lip of rim. The inner are fine.

 anything look way off here?

I also had a problem with that brand from Taiwan. Didn't fit my CB750. The spoke nipples were also too large to fit the DID rims. The Taiwanese spoke manufacturer said to drill out my new rims?? Whilst that is possible, I was certainly not going to do that & have corrosion starting because I'd exposed the steel.

I ended up buying new spokes from Yamiya. The Yamiya spokes fitted no problem at all.

Wait,, i just tried again and it seems to align ok..maybe i didnt have the hub / rim aligned enough... ill have a proper attempt!

the quality and thickness seem good

nope. definitely no dice on rear. See how the front goes...

I had the same problem with Taiwan spokes ordered from Central wheel in UK

front are perfect. very happy ! ill take a pic.


 retrying the rear, i think i may have got it wrong prevoiusy

ok the rear outer seems to be whats wrong..they are 90 degrees .. i think it should be more like 85..even less maybe. so asking for refund on the rear.

Unless can I bend the 20 outer spokes precisely?

front, stoked with..
