Black spokes/rims?

[F5 Dave]

Bit like painting a fence. Read a couple of articles on the web. You measure the offset before you start (plonk axle in a vice & slide wheel on. Then place something underneath the right size so you can adjust it back that way).

Take a picture of the spoke pattern.

Then CRC & loosen the spokes, then pull apart with a battery drill if you want to be quick.

Re lace it same way & plonk back on the axle in vice. You learn which spokes to tweak pretty quickly. Then the whole wheel can be corrected for offset by loosening every 2nd spoke & tightening every other to shift the wheel left or right.

For 20 min you wonder what you have gotten into, then bang you're an expert. The only hard part is trying to straighten a bent rim or changing rim sizes requires spokes to be rethreaded (rolled threads not cut) & spoke angle change.
