[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 117268, member: 38"] I have built in the neighbourhood of 25+ rims. Vincent, BSA R3, Nortons etc etc. best I ever did was on original Velo Thruxton flanged Dunlop rims, both ends easily under 10 thou in both directions. I usually work at them until they are close and then give all the spoke heads a light tap and leave them overnight, store up some patience and finish up the next day. 15 thou is about my max and ignore the jump where the weld is. On the last set of Devon SS rims I did it was very difficult to even find the weld. Some just fall together in the right spot and others like to fight you all the way. A recent certain model 7 rear with used rim and spokes was a prime example of that........ the patience bank is still a little short! [/QUOTE]
