    Dude I had no way of knowing which way to orient my spokes on my bike, after watching your video my spokes are on, fit perfectly, and I’ve got such a good understanding of the truing process. Truly a remarkable breakdown and explanation for someone just getting into wheel rebuilds. Thanks brother, couldn’t have done it without you. 🎉🎉

      I had the offset about a half inch over to the drum side of my rim. The tire was almost hitting the swing arm. I didn't pay attention to how important that offset is. Had to take the tire back off again and loosen 1 side and tighten the other about 8 times but I think I'm good now.

    • @CameronNiemela
      @CameronNiemela  Před 7 lety

      Thanks for checking out the videos man!! Replacing a spoke will the same as what's covered in this video. Remove the tire and replace the spoke, some times you'll need to loosen up the surrounding spokes to install the new spoke.

  • @johnnynewburgh9745
    @johnnynewburgh9745 Před 4 lety

    Great video thank you I install the tube a little different I put tire on rim one side... then install rim lock it's hard to get in there but you can do it... you can slip it in then need to hold up on tire to push rim lock through rim and start nut. after that I install tube then put a couple pounds of air in tube and finish getting tire over the bead. with the air pressure in there you will not pinch tube cause as tire goes over bead it pushes on inflated tube and keeps it out of the way. not a lot of pressure in tube couple pounds to make firm. hope that helps really frustrating doing all the work and getting a leak

    Hey Cameron, great video...I have a rim I just tried to re-lace from a 1996 Suzuki DR-350 Rear. Followed
    your (very Clear) instruction, but doing something wrong. I put long spokes on inside & short on outside
    but nipples are sticking up all over the board and unable to tighten them. Rim lettering face down but
    I'm lost...could use some insight!

    can i correct the side to side movement wit out removing the tire from the rim on a bike stand or do i need to remove it. i guess twisted tires will throw off the rim and give me inaccurate measurements?
    thanks again

  • @jbretel
    @jbretel Před 6 lety

    Hi Cameron - great vid's - very helpful and infomative thanks. Just a quick question - why not use a normal (small) torque wrench with an allen/suitable head, on the rear of the nipple to achieve the correct torque?
    AND..... if the nipples are anodised/coloured there's also less chance of damaging the finish? Just a thought :-)

    @Cameron Niemela were could I get the offset measurements for standard wheels off a 2019 Yamaha yz250f? There's nothing in my service manual about it. Obviously I forgot to take the measurement before taking apart the wheels. Also should the measurements be without any discs/sprockets on the hub?

    Great video. Do you have any ideas or videos for taking a dent out of my excel rim ? I'm going to have them powder coated and new black spokes and orange anodized nipples. I just took the spokes out and now I can see there are two bad spots in the front rim . I tried a rubber mallet. No luck ... I'm open to any idea . Even adding heat . Again great video , big help ... much respect sir . Hope you are feeling well .

  • @GCorona32
    @GCorona32 Před 6 lety

    As always good information. I would like to add a few additional steps that I do which is applying some assembly lube in the spoke holes of the hub and the shank of the nipple. When reapplying used bolts check the bolt for straightness and fatigue, clean any corrosive film and apply thin coat of grease or assem. lube. Basically, clean, lube and protect everything.

    Can you get a bigger rim and spokes to upgrade a wheel to a larger size with the same hub?

  • @orquestasinfonicainfantily9318

    Hi Cameron,
    I bougth a new set of spokes (all the same size) from my rear wheel.
    Also bought a hub from the same brand.
    But I noted that sprocket side diameter on the hub is larger than the rotor brake side.
    So, when i install the spokes then the rim is offset to the side of the rotor brake.
    Do you have any recommendation?

    @dntlss Před 2 lety

    Hey Cam, i have a rear wheel im wanting to restore,the spokes are slightly rusty but if you run your hand along them you dont feel that nasty feeling when they are rusted to oblivion, i would rather clean the spokes and avoid any relacing,im not good at that plus i dont have the equipment, i was wondering,could i sand those spokes with something like 400 grit and then paint them with some kind of durable high heat paint? the rim itself is not bad at all and could use some polishing, i know it would be hard with the spokes in place but its doable,i also have access to a big bead blaster at my job if that would help my project?
    How would you go about it? thank you so much for your time,if you think the wheel is better of being relaced i can take the whole thing down and clean it and then take it somewhere and have them do the lacing part, the bike was sitting for many years but like i said the wheels are not bad like you would find in a bike thats been in a jungle or something like that,lol, thank you much for your time.
