owen Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Me and a friend did mine, no high speed testing done so far but really good results and no issues since they were done a year ago (a few trials under my belt). Tried to find someone local in Bristol but draw a blank every time without spending a lot and waiting a while for the privilege... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owen Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Fowlers had genuine spokes in stock when i did mine, just the job and not as expensive as you may think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davdeborg Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 well i spent a week on and off polishing my rear hub came up brilliant spokes arrived today so took the bull by the horns and had a go suprisingly went so well done it in less than 2 hours all trued everything found it very theraputic and quite easy to be fair and i say its 99.9% perfect so time to strip front wheel now and have a go at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 You did put a bit of anti-seize/heavy grease on each spoke threaded end and dab on the nipple/rim contact seat didn't you ? It makes truing easier now and in the future ... Just a tiny bit will do fine / Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
