cb750A spoke tips
« on: June 24, 2019, 11:23:21 AM »
 I noticed the cb750A that has an aluminum rim uses the same spokes as a K or F but also has a washer to protect the rim from the nipple grinding in.
 Frank added he smacks the nipple with an aluminum punch to set it in the rim. They are often looser afterwards. Some rims also require an adjustment to the  spoke angle, this can help with that too.
