How on earth you have only 10k subscribers??? Things youre uploading are
very high quality
I‘m totally fine sharing my videos with a small audience that values my content. At the end of the day, not everyone will need this information, but I‘m happy to put it out there😃👍🏼
Thank you for your support and comment, it‘s much appreciated!
Regards Andreas
Well spoken.
Thank you very much for your feedback! Regards Andreas
WOW! Andreas, your attention to detail comes through no matter what you are doing! From completed rebuilds, to individual assemblies, your work practices are impeccable! This video shows all of those things, you are very easy to watch and learn from! WELL DONE!
Thank you so much David!!! As you know yourself, there is way more that goes into a video than what a viewer sees, but I'm so happy I can share this with you and everyone else. The lacing and truing process is somewhat therapeutical, even though it needs a lot of attention.
Thanks for sharing such a nice comment. Regards Andreas
Great explanation of the process. I laced up a pair of Norton wheels and it took forever! I think it was likely the issue was with the truing stand tapered bearings not being tight enough.
Thank you John! I find it important to center and set the offset as best I can on the table. This is really half of the work.
The threads of the spokes are rolled to the same length, so as you lace the wheel you can focus on how much thread is exposed. This will give you an indication of how centered your rim is.
I‘m not sure what type of bearings your Norton uses, but if they are tapered or roller bearings, you want to make sure the inner cone (or inner race) stays stationary. This will give you your best radial and lateral runout.
If you runout is all over the place, it‘s sometimes best to just start over. Sometimes it can take 10-15mins and other times it may take over an hour.
In the end it‘s important that you have a true running wheel for your bike!😊👍🏽
Thanks for sharing your experience! Cheers
You made did that as if tuning a musical instrument...brilliant to watch!
Thank you so much Simon! It was great fun assembling both wheels and I‘m glad I could revive them with new spokes and nipples😊👍🏽
Super porady ,dziękuję .Pozdrawiam.
Thank you!! Regards Andreas
Good job ! what a patient guy you are !!
Thank you, Sir! Patience is needed when truing a wheel, but the end result is what counts☺️
Super cool. Love your videos
Thank you Jeff! I appreciate your continued support and comments😃👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Another quality lesson explained clearly. thanks Andreas.
Thank you for your great comment, Steve! I'm glad I could share this with you!!
Thanks for another master class, makes me --almost-- tempted to do my own wheels.
I'm glad you were able to check out this video too! It's a lot to take in and a lot of patience is needed while truing a wheel, but it's actually not as hard as it seems. Maybe you'll find a test rim to lace one day, just for the fun of it! Cheers
Great run down on lacing and truing a /5 rim.
Thank you for your comment, Thomas😊👍🏼
Excellent how to video. You make it look so easy. Great job. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot!😃👍🏽 It‘s actually not any harder than doing a bicycle wheel or any other motorcycle wheel.
If you‘re starting off with a straight rim and you get your initial offset right, you‘ve already done half of the work!
It‘s also possible to do this with a dial indicator, to verify your high spots…but with a little bit of practice, one can do it with a stationary indicator like the zip-ties shown in this video.
Some people even true their wheels directly on their bike, by using the axle-shaft. There are numerous ways to lace & true a spoke wheel and in this video I tried to share how I do it😊
Thanks for tuning in!!
Shouldn’t you be checking the offset again after truing the wheel?
