[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 179421, member: 2010"] If you take the complete wheels to any chrome platers I know they will tell you to take them away, it's not their job to take things apart. The taverners jig is a great help, but be sure to take a couple of good pictures of the wheel in the jig before taking it apart, then you have a reference as to which spokes go where. As a long time amateur (50 years) wheel builder, Vincent wheels are among the easiest to build, Rawl Plugs are your friend here, they can be inserted in the hole in the flange after the spoke head to keep the spoke in place until you need to fit the next one in the hole, and then refitted once that is in, if not the whole thing can frustratingly fall apart. Also before stripping you could wrap a bit of coloured insulating tape around each spoke, a different colour for each row, this would then easily show which spokes were in which row and would help you identify every rows position. Don't be frightened, [/QUOTE]
