Motorbike Spokes - Elderly Neighbour Doing a Restoration - Anyone Know Where to Get Some Made?

tunzafun001 on 23/07/2024 - 11:44

Hi all,

My elderly neighbour is restoring, I believe a James Motorbike.

He asked me to find out where he can get some spokes made for 19 inch rims?

Apparently these rims have 2 different length spokes within the one wheel.

Any ideas where to head? In SA if it makes any difference.

Cheers

I have used Axiom for custom spokes on my XRV750 - they are more MX-oriented, but can probably do others.

Google shows numerous places.

This sounds promising

… Amongst this we did a few MX individual spoke repairs & also made a few sets of spokes to post out.
