I've laced a few wheels for my Motogiro bikes. Before I tore them down I fabbed up a jig with the axle mounted in the center so I could get the offset correct on reassembly. I used it for truing the wheel after. I was happy with the results. I bought aluminum rims for my Benelli Sprite and didn't have alot of confidence in getting new SS spoke lengths right so I had a local wheel builder do it for me. He did a great job. One of these days I'll get the bike completed and see how they go down the road.
