Spoke Tension (again?)
« on: January 02, 2011, 03:14:37 PM »
Professionally, I have built numerous bicycle wheels but never a motorcycle wheel : (

The rim is laced correctly and am beginning the spoke tensioning process.

Tensioning a wheel/spoke by pitch does not work for me.

Does anyone know the max. spoke tension for a '76 CB750 K6 front wheel (2 Cross - 40 spoke)? 

(yeah sure everyone knows that off the top of their head lol)

I have found threads that discussing nipple torque but no values regarding spoke tension.

Thank you in advance - saw750

More important then nipple torque would be the truthyness of the wheel.  Do you have it in a truing stand and is it true?

I went ahead and Googled "Nipple Torque".  Sure hope the missus doesn't look at my browser history!!  ;D

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.
