Spoke wheel repairs

Spoke Wheel Services is focused on providing high-quality service and customer satisfaction - we will do everything we can to meet your expectations. Welcome to SpokedWheel Repairs and St George Wheel Works. Chris Squires repairs , builds, and supplies all types of spoked motorcycle wheels from his Peakhurst, Sydney factory.


In many cases better than new, check out the pictures. We can make spoked wheels for your vintage, veteran or classic car or motorcycle to suit!

To replace the damaged spoke , first remove your wheel and then the tire, tube and rim tape. Then remove both ends of the damaged spoke and nipple. Spokes usually break either at the nipple or at the hub flange.


If it’s a rear wheel , you’ll have to remove the cassette or freewheel first. We specialize in spoked wheels, repairs , wheel restorations, rims and custom wheel building. ASW cover pretty much all of your motorcycle wheel needs.

Show-winning experience. For all your motorcycle wheel repairs. With many years experience, I can offer you a first rate service – most of my clients come from word of mouth. I import spokes and rims and what I don’t have in stock I can import.


Alloy “Blank” rims drilled to suit your hubs. Also a range of British chrome and stainless steel rims. You decide which repairs you would like us to perform.


Your bike is only as good as the service that backs it up. Our whole mission at Spoke and Wheel is to get you safely on your adventure and safely back! OK, now on to actual wheel repairs.


If a spoke broke, or if the wheel got bent, the spokes are still in the same adjustment as they were before. Replacing the broken spoke will often bring a wheel back into true. Restoring a bent rim is much easier if you start by leaving the spokes as they are, as a guide. Spoke wheel lacing and truing can be a time consuming and frustrating proposition for the inexperienced.


Frame Straight offers a solution for spoke wheel dent repair, re-lacing , restorations or simple true and tune. First, the spoke wheel is trued in the traditional way.

Once the rim is true and the spokes are uniformly tightened. An of course, we also love dogs (especially Blizzar pictured helping us deliver bikes)! The spoke stays there, held by the rim nipple and the crossing of other spokes, but it might flail around and worst case catch on the frame or chain. That said - braking is mostly done with the front wheel , so a get-home fix is to widen the back rim brakes or undo them completely allowing the possibly distorted rim room to turn.


JTR can manufacture spoke sets to any of your motorcycle wheel requirements, in stainless steel, zinc plated galvanized steel butted or straight spokes. With over 500spokes in stock, years of history JTR can produce spokes to your requirement. Drag Specialties Front Chrome x 3.
