Fuck, I haven't laced a wheel since I was 16. You get an A for effort...

When I went through AMI back in the stone age, one of the final exams was lacing a wheel. You got a hub, a pile of spokes, a rim and 15 minutes to have a rolling wheel. I could do it then, but it would probably take me a month now.
I'm with Avatard, A for taking it on.

Got it!
What a motherfather...
Notice the 2 severely bent spokes (will pick up replacements tomorrow). Didn't bother to start the truing process until I get them replaced. Sitting at about .060" out of round now-more up and down. Not much [.025"] side to side, with just finger tightening. No real adjustments made as of yet.

I'm just about ready to re-lace the wheels on my '69 Triumph.

Between the three of us, I bet we could get it done by New Years.

The only problem is that he takes that long weekend and just hangs around.
