Cheers fella I done these ones all even hand nipped up then marked the first spoke up with a bit of masking tape near we’re the valve for the inner tube then tightened every 3 spokes quarter of a turn with a spoke key till I’m back to the original spoke then add another bit of tape to the next spoke and go round every 3 again till the beginning this process is repeated 4 times you don’t have to wrench on the spokes just nip them bit by bit evenly or when you come to true the wheel on a trueing stand it’ll be all over the shop up down side to side you gotta remember if your over tighten say 12 o’clock 6 o’clock will be tighter. For correct tightness I done a sound test with a pencil run over the spokes they should all sound the same sound 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m gunner be having a go at coating some billet wheel hubs at the weekend it’ll be my first time using the stuff I’m a little nervous because I want to make a really good professional job of it I’ve glass media shot the hubs in the sand blast cabinet keeping the bearings an dust seals in so to not play with tolerances I’ve degreased them then baked them in the oven repeated twice to make sure for no grease I’m looking for any hints an tips would be appreciated? I think this is a good a place as any as I know many on here are car/bike and gun guys Air cured or oven cured put your parts in a way you can pass even when spraying its not the same as powder maybe mask or bung anywhere you dont want paint good luck 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
