Yes, it does require knowledge, and time, to build a custom wheel. However, as I have proven, it is not beyond the capabilities of the average person.

No, you don’t need to employ a dial indicator to true a motorcycle wheel. I used a wheel truing stand manufactured by Park Tools to true this custom wheel.

I have discovered I enjoy building custom motorcycle wheels. Therefore, if someone can’t find a local shop to build a wheel for them, I am happy to do the job myself, for a modest cost. I did not intend to imply I would build the custom wheel for free.

The Cult of the Zong is a close fraternity. I enjoy being able to help my fellow Zongites.
