mm I wish I can weld but my bro magrider does the welding in the family. I can't lay a bead down if my life depended on it. But I will mention it to him and maybe you guys can exchange some labor services. Moneys tight for me right now and I'm not really looking to buy 24" wheels, spokes, and nipples until summer if I'm lucky.
 
Hey Flying Dutch,

Lacing a wheel isn't too bad with some on the online guides. Just look over the wheel availability beforehand. I love the characteristics of the 24" but the selection of wheel hoops is fairly limited.

Yep, I spend 5months planning and putting together a build then someone asks, "Where y'da buy it?" Crimmany

dig up a hand full of nipples 14g.'s are okish and are used on just about every thing, I have a 24x1.5 alloy new galvy spokes $0.35 each x 36 < $15.00 and that's one wheel down
 
Good news bad news. I got my new front hub 36 spoke drum brake moped type.
now I have to build the wheel and I had just finished the other, 3+ days to get that right!!
THERE IS NO REST FOR THE WICKED
but it's shinny and should work well at the tr:-||ack
 
finger tighten all the spokes first. then do 2 at the valve stem, 2 opposite, 2 90 degrees away, and 2 opposite those.

repeat.

watch the spoke inside the nipple. if one side is poking out the back while the opposite side has plenty of threads left, loosen the tight ones, tighten the loose ones.

don't wait till it's tight to try to get the "hop" out of it.

not my first rodeo just not the best with truing left to right isn't hard but keeping the wheel centered that's the trick....

After man invented the wheel, he invented the truing stand. A home made truing stand will certainly make the job alot faster and much less frustrating. Hang in there Dave, you know what to do.

Check out this video of Dave Rust's Rocket Car......
Zero to 60 mph in One Second.
the info on the U Tube video which says 6 seconds is incorrect.
The video only shows a partially powered launch due to the cul-de-sac
"drag strip." :D

http://youtu.be/aO9DjjOzi2E

Dave is going to run the Rocket at one of the Grange races as an
exhibition dragster down the front straight during the lunch break.

Dave Rust's brother Jim rode the #5 66 cc China 2 stroke to 2nd at
the last Oct 22nd Grange race right behind 1st place winner magrider.

The # 5 bike speed parts are available here and Dave will even make
you one of his water cooled heads!

Arrow Motorized Cycles is casting some very cool #1 plaques for the winners
at the next SoCal Motor Bicycle Race on Sat April 7th

My buddy nashmoto (#98) turned his talents to putting
together a logo for SoCal Motor Bicycle Racing.

How do you guys like this first draft?

Only 45 days to go to the Grange race and meet.

I'll see you at the "beat down" and that way no one will know we're middle aged men goofing off !!!!

The finalized logo / logos will be finished soon.
