Morizumi Spoke Cutting and Threading

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's nothing better than fine tools! Blueline Bicycle Repair is now offering custom length spoke cutting and thread rolling thanks to the Wheel Fanatyk SCT Machine, also known as a Morizumi. This machine will allow me to better utilize my current spoke inventory and reduce the lead time for custom wheel builds and repairs.

I've had a chance to cut and thread a few spokes and I'm thoroughly impressed with the ease of the process and the finished product.

My first official "job" involved cutting spokes for a rear Surly Rabbit Hole wheel that I built earlier this year. The customer had a stick kick up into the wheel, bending two spokes. Previously, I would have had to order more spokes but with the Morizumi, I pulled longer spokes from my inventory, cut them to length and rolled the threads and got the customer rolling much quicker.
