- Welcome to another episode of the 1986 Honda CR250R restoration project. This time it the wheels that are in the spotlight for restoration so sit back , relax and enjoy, But first,
PATREON If you would like to help support the channel you can find my patreon account here / rrcrestoration
So what's involved in a wheel restoration? Well in this case way back in episode 3 I stripped these wheels down and sent the rims and hubs out for replating as they were scratched, corroded, peeling and generally beaten up from years at the track. While they were at the platers i ordered all the parts I would need to rebuild them
stainless steel spokes and nipples
Inner tubes
rim bands
rim locks
new tyres
Then when they arrived back it was simply a case of putting all of those items together, so first up was the lacing of the wheel, each wheel has different spokes and angles and a particular order of assembly so its important that you know what you are doing because if you don't you'll get the the 36th spoke and it wont fit and you'll have to start all over again and risk damaging your nicely plated wheels so beware.
After the lacing process its time to true the wheel as the rim is never perfect from the factory as you can see from the amount of run out in the video. To true the rim it involves finding the high and low spots and evening them out using the inner and outer spokes to pull the rim one way or the other and its the same for the vertical run out. Once true to within 2mm or less the nipples were torqued up and then it was time to fir the tyres.
If you are watching and reading this then I'm sure I don't need to explain tyre and tube fitting as it would just bore you but if you are new to all of this watch the video its pretty self explanatory
After all of that it was simply a case of fitting the sprocket and brake disc and then getting set up for the next episode teaser.
So I hope you enjoyed this episode and ill see you all again very soon,
Enjoy
RRC

Beautiful work, as always! This is one of the very few places in my world where I can see something done to perfection!
Thank you so much :)
I’m only on #6 of the CR250R, but gotta say it’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while - super well done!!
Honda should hire you to train technicians. Anyone who can make a 1980's dirt bike look like this should be a boss.
Superb work. There’s something so satisfying about watching someone who knows what they’re doing just get on with it. No American sensationalisation because they changed an oil filter, just work done properly. Looking forward to more!
Watching you redo the wheel bearings reminds me when I did my first ever set and forgot to put the spacer tubes back in🙄. Realised soon enough and with several condemnations of my ineptitude I soon had them in 😂
Honda will be looking to purchase this for their heritage collection!!
Absolutely perfection bud 👍🏼
Coffee and RRC! Great Sunday starting off!
Enjoy! :)
What a fantastic and thorough job you're doing. Great to watch. It's going to turn out beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Really great job. And George is alive and fight together with us. Ciao
That young man is a fine art that so many people just don’t bother learning. Probably the most therapeutic job of building a bike. Job well done fella
Thank you so much for that comment :)
Great to watch as usual and nice to see the vise making an appearance in the background. 👍🇦🇺
Wheely enjoyed this episode....sorry couldn't resist!! Highlight of the week/month as always on YT 👍👌
Didn't expect for wheels to use only 14psi. Nice work as always. Looking pristine.
Currently binge-watching this CR restoration and enjoying it very much. In particular I really enjoy seeing you restore original parts and components, much better than some other channels where they just throw £££ at new stuff. Your approach really showcases your mad skills!
And that classic white Impreza that keeps appearing in the background 😍😍
Talent , hard work and OCD combined , in one person !!! Can't think of another way to describe you sir
Well done!!!
An absolute pleasure watching you work. I've worked as a tire changer in an automotive garage, and I've been changing dirt bike tires with tire irons and blade screw drivers since I was a boy but I've never seen a dirt bike tire changed on a turn table, very slick. Looking forward to seeing the completion of the bike, the perfect year and model in my opinion! Cheers lad!
Wheels look stunning. It's amazing how easy putting a little air in the tubes helps . Something I learnt when I built mountain bikes many years ago
Thank you, yeah it helps so much i only learnt about it a few years back, so many swear words and kinked tubes before haha
@@RRCRestoration hmm yea that brings back memories 😅 . Just enough air for the tube to take shape. Also a tiny dab of evostik contact adhesive on the rim tape in a couple of places stops it moving
Helps with everything from lawnmower tires to tractor tires.
Wheelie good results... brilliant as usual.
Those came out great! Never thought i'd enjoy a concourse restoration on a dirt bike. But here i am!
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying it :). I see your channel is growing nicely really happy to see you've found your niche :)
I gather many information on how to work on my bike from watching all your videos! Really beneficial!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glad i can help you out my friend :)
@@RRCRestoration Glad to have you who always inpire people and share the processes of rebuild many things
Love this channel I just found it I’m rebuilding a Kawasaki kx250 89 and it is a great help you are a wizard of what you do 😂 love watching and you have a eye for protection if my bike turns out half the way this one has I would be very happy thank you for taken the time to share with us
wow , lacing those wheels would scare me !! well done they look brand new !
Outstanding sir can’t wait to see the bike finished. Hope you do a video with you out on the bike..
What a difference to the wheels, well done.
Thank you :)
Wheels turned out awesome...
Man I absolutely love your videos, so relaxing to watch, amazing camera work and incredible skill level on the actual restos! Subscribed, obviously!
Those wheels are just awsome. Wish I was brave enough to go to those levels of restoration. All I did was replace the wheel bearings.
Thank you so much :) Nothing ventured nothing gained ;) get an old wheel strip it to component form then rebuild it you'll find it very enjoyable well if you can get all the nipples undone that is haha.
you really do have a great channel, its a good day when rrc uploads
Nice to see you, Enjoy :)
am enjoying right now😉
Dude. Love watching your vids. They're always top notch. But I love listening as well 😁. Dulcet tones brother 👉👂 😂. 😎
:) wish that you can post more often your videos! Amazing work man! I hope that one day I can afford this type or ANY bike restored by you!
Trying my best to get a video per week out from now on ;)
Looks like another great restoration in the pipeline,money no object again....
Yup pretty much, No doubt by the time its finished I'll have spent more than the bike is worth but it'll be worth it to have maybe the only concourse 86 CR250 in Britain :)
Great Work !! They turned out Awesome!!👍😁
Seriously, this is an awesome job ! Keep it up ! 😎
Thank you! Will do! :)
Just did this too - I envy your press, plating and new spokes - hand sanded & polished mine and it took me freaking hours - love seeing this done right by you :-)
Worst bit is they are probably going to go orange in under a year if you’ve done that.
@@TheSmartStar Hi Connor - can I ask why?
You are really dominating Ronald Finger. You already have track days on your sports bike and are almost through a dirtbike. I think he is still running carb cleaner through his Kawasaki.
Brilliant job! They look better than new.
Thanks so much, Always nice to hear from you :)
Good tip coming from a Honda motorcycle mechanic, when installing the wheelspacers into the oil seals, try to push as much grease you can between the wheelbearing and oil seal. Keeps the seals well lubricated so they last way longer and don’t tend to wear out as much, which would mean that dirt and debris can get behind the seal. But as always love the video’s, your workspirit, quality jobs!! Keep up the good work!
Brilliant channel 👍🏻
Thank you kindly :)
Odd tire sizes they used back in time...
:-D
Thx for showing some more great work!
:-D
Fajna centrownica
so nice !! ....as always i know before that watching your new video will be so much pleasure and, as always, your new video is more than expectations. Seriously the best i have seen...thank you for sharing !
Amazing work! I absolutely love your channel!
Beautifully done Sir! ✌️🍻
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job in the rims and tires! They look factory fresh. I used to chainge my tires on the floor in the garage with nothing but a couple of tire irons. I always used a generous sprinkling of talcum powder to help the tube slide into place. Thanks for sharing, it brings back a lot of memories. Have a great day. Jeff
Hi Jeff Thanks for watching and commenting. I know the pain of tire irons all too well ah the joys of having a tire machine now :)
Wow, they look pretty spectacular indeed especially with the Maxxis, great choice. Lacing up wheels looks a real artform to me and something I could only dream of doing. Great episode, looking forward to the next one......
Deeply satisfying, as always! I've built and trued a few bike wheels (pedal and motor) over the years, I always used a marker or 'sharpie' (whiteboard or permanent) to highlight runout, it makes it so easy (erase the mark instantly with a swipe of a wet finger or cloth). Got to the point I could get off a pedal bike, sit it upside-down and true a wheel perfectly in minutes without even letting the tyres down (assuming I had the spoke key and marker with me). Of all mechanicing jobs, I found it to be one of the most satsifying.
Nice tip, i think I'll try that next time as I'm always terrified of scratching the rim with the pointer. It is a very satisfying job when you know what you're doing :)
@@RRCRestoration If you hold the marker in your hand (with your palm braced against the jig, bike frame, whatever), the give in your fingers means get a mark that varies from barely visible to a thick line. I guess you could solidly mount it, but this way you end up with longer sequences of spokes to tweak precisely indicated around the the entire circumference as the mark fades in and out. I'm actually surprised it isn't the way everyone does it!
Great! Can’t wait to see the final assembly!
Exelente video, saludos desde Cordoba Argentina
I really enjoyed. Thank you
The work you do is really perfect, I congratulate you on that. But you don't seem to care much about the products you have.😄 Please renew the tool bags, tool drawers and cabinets you use.👏👏👌👌
Wheels look great. You really do an excellent bit of work. 👍🏼
Great job on the wheels! Really looking forward to the completed bike!
Thank you so much :)
Immaculate attention to detail as always 👌🏻🏴

Spot on, fabulous job as usual
cheers buddy.
Can't wait for it all to come together. Good job!
Same here :)
Conjunto de rodas e pneus lindos que estão na Thumbnail. Parabéns. Lindo demais.
Excuse me, in case you answered this a thousand times before: do you sell the restored bikes? and where, if so? or are these commissioned? brilliant job, indeed!
Hi, I keep all my restorations they are all lined up in my collection. I only restore my own bikes I don't take on commissions as it's too much hassle.
@@RRCRestoration they surely very valuable collections!
And please, use your motorcycles every now and then, enjoy your work bro! 😊
@@RRCRestoration I can see that! No way I'd EVER let go of a 916.
@@RRCRestoration absolutely living my dream haha. Get rich somehow, build a personal shop, build and restore my personal collection!
@@mod.ts76 ive got myself quite poor doing it but its better than squandering it on beer and loose women..... no wait, thats where most of its gone.
excellent work again my friend,i wish i could snap my fingers and get a rear knobbly on like that haha,im normally kneeling down outside swearing with sore knees and tire levers.haha
Beautifull, very good work!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I had no idea so much could be done to a wheel and make such a difference in its appearance and apparent mechanical integrity.
yup, the biggest upgrade was changing from steel spoked to stainless steel, no corrosion and a lot stronger than the stock ones.
They look phenomenal man. 1/10 of a style point deducted for not lining up tyre logos with valves cores 😁 but thats my OCD kicking in from mtb’s. I cant wait for this to be to be complete!
I enjoyed watching nice 👍
Nice job lacing the wheels, I've laced mountain bike wheels a few times but never MX wheels. Another great video, bike's going to be really nice, looking forward to the episode when we hear it fire up and see it running.
Thank you, Glad you liked it :)
very impressive and interesting I'm waiting for the next video 😁
Thank you! 😃
Stunning looking wheels!
Glad you like them! :)
Wheels look fantastic, dont fancy doing it myself though 👍
Beautiful work mate but not lining up the tyre logo directly opposite the valve has put my OCD into overdrive! 🧐😂😂
Damn the maestro puts up an episode & in no time there are thousands of views.. So the wheel hubs are powder coated while the rims are plated or they too are powder coated I wonder.
As always that attention to detail makes it worth it. Thanks mate for sharing and if I ever make it up to your nick of the woods I shall find a way to have a cold pint with ya :)..
Good job again
Awesome work as always!!!! :)
mega tidy work as usual
Awesome 👏 work👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Superb work
Absolutely stunning better than new , can't wait for the next video 👌
Thank you cheers.
It will be beautiful this cross 😍

Can't wait to see this bike riding
