[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 43613, member: 2708"] Hi Dag I laced my first rim at about that age as well. The rim came in a box along with some new spokes and most of a 1963 AJS 500CS Scramber, the near square bore/stroke factory 12 to one CR model, that I later sold for $300:mad:. The difference is that wheras you have been busy lacing delicate bicycle wheels andmotorcycle wheels during all the years since, it was about 45 years to my next wheel build:D So the torque wrench really helped me get a feel for inch pounds rather than foot pounds. Now I have been reminded of it,I want that AJS back.All alloy engine, just over 40bhp from factory and revved to the moon. Bright yellow too. Glen [/QUOTE]
