Wheel repairs

[dicky]

Who does wheel work in Melbourne?
I know nmilne had some bloke do some work form him, but dunno who it was.
All I need at present is some dings taken out of a front rim and checked for true, but I may soon need a rim laced to a hub as well.

Funny you should post this mate co's I was cleaning my bike yesterday and found several big dints in the wheel :cry: .

[dicky]

If you are going to bash them out yourself I'll let you do mine as well, but only after you have practiced on yours ;)

Same problem on the front, from over jumping doubles. Two strokes have too much power, even when short shifting!!

Ash, u r our test mule.

Hey what's up with those 2 doubles at Nunnawading they have unreal upramps but the landings are to close. You could almost quad them :shock:

I got my work done by lightfoot engineering in mont albert, just in behind mick hone (bloke works from home in his garage workshop). Good bloke, he charges a bit for his work, but really knows his stuff. I might mention that he also stuck my hotcams exhaust cam in his lathe and took some material off the locator as I had an interference fit initially, so you can see I trust him with some decent work :up: :up: :up:

Other than that (the late) Bob Martin will roll a rim for you no probs, and he's pretty well priced but down in ferntree gulley. Quite a few bike shops do re-lacing as well, Scotty's dirt bike spares in Ringwood certainly do, and scotty is a top bloke as well :up: Tell him I sent you and he'll charge you a bit extra :lol:

Thanks mate, I'll have a ring around tomorrow.
Got a 21" wheel in the boot of the car, getting ready for another big desert ride.

You may want to price up some new body armour as well then :)

I know. You come out of that right hander to the first mound (used to be a double) and the back wheel somtimes touches the landing ramp, but you mostly over jump it. Then you keep the same speed for ages and give a quick blip on the up ramp. And repeat the procedure, possible slowing a bit for the second double. They need to bring the second double closer in and turn it into a triple!!!! :D

Lets get on the track design committe and turn it into a proper supercross track....and ban 4 strokes :lol: :lol:

If you ride a mini bike, you better be a mini person...hang on...KX85 or mini bike? Unless the kid is 5, give him the 85!!!!

I'll second that.
He built me up some wheels from stock Yamaha hubs with excels and stainless spokes. The back had a big offset, I gave him bare rims and he drilled them accordingly. He know's his shit. He even bought the nasty dirt rims off me. :)
From memory his name is Mark....

Lightfoots is the place to go in Melbourne no doubt...

(He better buy some rims too... ;))
