Title: Z rims
Post by: missmyripper on May 24, 2008, 10:57 AM

Help
Ive just laced a pair of z rims but I cant get them straight for love nor money. Its turning into a real krypton factor. Is there anyone who could get the dam things straight.

Cheers Doug

back all the spokes right off.
then do each one up just a few turns each say 6 turns
then go round again a few turns at a time .then true them at the end.
if your near suffolk pop them round to me.

Thanks I ll give it another ten go's!, the problem is that the rim is so buckled to start with. Any chance I could put them in the post to you!

yep you can post them but for the cost of 2 lots of posting might be easier taking them to a local bike shop
but failing that send them to me ,how bad are they unlaced
