if you can manage without weights on the rim, great, but don't forget that's what a wheel balance is for. sometimes you get it perfectly trued and there's nothing you can do but add weights to even the balance out.

Keep talking guys, I'm actually learning something here! Paul, I don't know what the outcome might be, but I don't like the way the bend is more pronounced near the spoke nipples, if they're going to break anywhere they will at the threaded portion, but I'm certainly no expert, I just don't want you getting hurt. Cheers, Terry. ;D

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Listen you guys,....this is not meant to be sarcastic or smart arse but,......good luck to you all.

Over my 40 years of competition riding I got to meet quite a few wheel builders, some you stay clear of,...some you use again.

The tarmac can hurt at low speeds just as much as it can at very high speeds....been there...done it...got the T shirt.

Don't take your lives into your own hands for a few dollars,....leave it to the guys that know what they are doing.

Ride safe.

i agree, which is why i have always left it with my local shop in the end to check through everything before mounting the tire. not sure how much more i can do but actually have them do the legwork i started.

Good advice Sam, have you got any spare T shirts mate? It's getting pretty warm here and I'm running out of "Been there, done that" logo shirts? XXL please mate! Ha ha, Cheers, Terry. ;D

I know it's an old topic now :)

Noticed a thing on my CB500, that all of the, original spokes have that same bend, but they are not at the hub flange, they are made this way!
