I've been doing my spokes for years based on tone. Problem is I don't know if I'm really getting them tight enough.Our crf250 I had to tighten them almost every ride. Is there a trick to getting them to set so they stay tight?
So now I just built a cr125 with Excel rims and spokes and figured I would try to torque them and see if that does the trick. How do you determine the torque spec by the bike,wheel size or brand? Anyone help me out.
Edit: Found the info on Excel's site. Looks like all the same set at 45-50 lb or 5.1-5.6 N-m depending on manufacturer's specification, Excel pro wheels set at 48 lb or 5.5 N-m for those interested.
