your post is a couple of months old, but i will respond. i sent my hubs to esat coast rim in new jersey. i used 2 front hubs, so i could use disc brakes on the front and rear. omar makes an adapter kit to mount a front hub on the rear and use a disc brake. i used excell brand rims a 2.5 inch x 17 put on front and a 3.5 inch x 17 put on the rear. s.s. spokes and nipples, avon road rider tires, 110/80-17 front and 130/70-17 rear.

i checked around other place and found they had the best deal. lifetime warranty and free shipping

Hey Roy,

Did you build or assemble some sort of rig to balance and true your wheels when you respoked yours? I've got a Norton rear I need to get to one of these days, is why I ask.

Best,

Michael

if its only one wheel your going to do, lace it up and mount it to your bike. (PUT YOUR BIKE UP ON A LIFT) . mount a pointer to the swing arm , or fork tube and proceed to true it as describbed in your service manual. yes I have a trueing stand but only because I true a few wheels a year. I have done a dozzen or so on the bike. you ballance them the same way.
