dazzle Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi, did my first trial the other week and managed to break 14 spokes in the front wheel ( don't ask how). So phoned a local wheel builder and he said at least 5 weeks before he could look at it !! So trying to rebuild it myself. Thing is does anybody know at what torque the spokes should end up when finished. Many thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbhbul Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Dazzle, Replace the spokes & tighten enough to true the wheel (don't have to be perfect) IMHO. A little lube wont hurt, not a tough job. Never thought about torque, I am sure someone knows. Have a good day Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybond700 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 There are special torque wrenches available for spokes, however its doable without. Most important thing is that the thing is straight, so do it step by step, take time. There are plenty of yotube videos that describe how to spoke a wheel like told above.
