for anyone who wants to know how to feel real proud of themselfs heres how
Take one massivly buckeled rim, one 6mm spanner and 2 hours of your time
First gently massage the spanner to the right size to fit the spoke nipples with two very large hammers
then send 2 hours adjusting spokes, spinning the wheel, adjusting the spokes again, spinning the wheel again and so on untill you have less than 3mm runout in the rim
Yes this is the first time ive done it
No i wont do anyone elses wheel

i here that
spokes suck but at least in the back of your mind you know it wont take so long next time

me personally i would rather buy a new rim already spoked but i do keep my spokes tight and thats not fun

but i like the idea of killing a 6mm spanner saves 40 odd dollars i spose
bad luck if you need a 6mm spanner the look on your face then would be pricless

he he he

lol ive got 3 sets of cheap spanners for making 'specilised' tools out of and 2 sets of good spanners.
Its alright buying new rims...if you got the money

dont think i've go tthe money all that much
but i'm pretty lazy when it comes to repairs like that
but hey the cheapo spanners might be a good idea in particular shaving the sides of the 13mm for my chain tensioners i might look into that
