Refubish spoked wheels

[the Norwegian]

Just picked up a set of wirewheels for my 650 and i'm looking for a "HowTo" for reasembling theese wheels.
Planning to use polished stainless spokes. And they have Borrani rims.

Thanks, great video.

I also need advice on where to buy spokes of good quality.

THE BEST spokes come from Buchanons , also the most expensive. I bought some S/S from MikesXS. They look nicely polished, reasonable price,but I have not installed them yet. So I can not tell you if the threads and nipples are sturdy.

The ones from Mike's are very nice. I've used several sets. I expect Buchanan's 650 spoke sales to fall off sharply.

Some re-spoking tips .....

- take pics and notes before dis-assembly

- measure rim to hub offset before dis-assembly

- install inner spokes first, then outers
