Not sure if he can do it (and he's in Lake Charles) but PM RollingJ. He has a pretty good grip on the process.

There is a Houston torcs racer named Greg Draper who does wheels for all that crowd. I have had him build up several wheels for me & my son. He gets 'em tight & right.
Thanks gentlemen.
Legit guy. Backs up his work. Greg Draper http://jdcpmx.com/

FWIW, the best write-up on lacing wheels I've ever seen is in old Hardly-Ableson Shop Manuals.

Nope - never had a problem with loose spokes but taillights shattered from vibration (3 of the 5 xmsn mounting bolts vibed out, one about to fall out one semi-tight - BUT that bike ('82 FXWG) had been torn down and reassembled by a guy who couldn't get it to run, gave up and sold it to me. Abt 5hrs later, she was putting down the road.
Shifting's fun, too, when the shifter pedal vibrates out of the lever and winds up somewhere in the 'Chafalaya swamp, after midnight, on the Brule Road (Chacahoula to back-side of Thibodaux). That's when it's good to be riding a '74 XLCH, last of the bikes with the shifter on the "correct" side - pull clutch, reach down, grab the lever & shift. Piece-a-cake!
No.
