Where would you send wheels to get laced?
« on: July 14, 2007, 10:14:29 AM »
I need to get a set of wheels laced together. Honda hubs with Yamaha hoops, anyone have a good suggestion for getting them to work together? I don't mind shipping them, but I want them done right, as they will after all be the only thing connecting me to the road...

There's a place near here called "Wally's Wheel Works", I think it is, in Englewood, CO.
They rebuild car and bike wheels, get them rechromed, etc. They have their own boneyard for bike parts, including a bunch of vintage-era Hondas, Kaws and Yams, even some Suzys, sort of a "one-of-each" inventory.

They have done good for me.

But, it looks like they are booked up solid for a couple months :-\

It's on the west coast, but been building wheels for many years with fine reputation.

Hello SClay,

     I will strongly second the nomination of Buchanan..........

     Not cheap, but then, they do nothing but top of the line work............

Yeah I don't care about them being 'cheap' or not. I want the best I can afford, and I'll open the wallet up a little more for, as I mentioned, the only thing that connects me to the road. Now Buchanan, you can do what I am proposing? Send them your hubs and hoops, and they will make spokes and such to put it all happily together?

Well this is a 350 Twin, with 36's. And the hoops are XS650 material. Which I am understanding are 36 as well. I have seen some sets of them laced together, so I'm thinking it can be done. Hoping maybe is a better word...
