How do you align the spokes on a motorcycle rim?
There's something seriously wrong if the spokes needs to be aligned, but the rim may need trueing. Trueing a wheel is done by backing off on the LH spoke where the rim is bulging towards the left and tightening the LH spokes wherever the rim is bulging towards the right.

What is a cast spoke wheel?
Most spoked wheels are made out of separate parts assembled together. There's a hub, spokes, and a rim. But with cast spokes the whole wheel is molded in one go, creating hub, spokes and rim out of the same material.
Why does your bmx make a 'ting' sound when you land a jump?
At the point where your wheel hits the ground, the rim flexes a little bit. The spokes that support this section of the rim also flexes, and then snaps back as soon as this spot of the rim rotates past this point. This creates a 'ping" sound as the spokes pop up against each other where they cross.
How do spokes give a wheel strength?
Spokes tie the rim to the hub, creating what's in engineering terms is called a pre-stressed structure.
How are bicycle wheels made?
Bike wheels are made out of three parts: 1 The center hub, the nave , 2 the rim, 3 the spokes. The spokes have hook's on one end, that are latched through the holes of the nave . The other end of the spokes are threaded and are put through holes in the rim and then fastened with a nut with a flattened head. This was the easy part. The difficult part is to tighten all the spokes equally so that the nave and the rim are in perfect alignment.
If you bought a bmx rim does that mean you have to buy a new hub and spokes or can you just lace your old spokes onto the the bmx rim?
Kinda-sorta. If the new rim has the exact same diameter where the spoke nipples are, then you can reuse the old spokes and hub. Easiest way to do this is to tape the new rim alongside the old one. As long as you get the alignment right(valve hole, and left/right staggered spoke holes...) you just move one spoke at the time over and you're done. Keep in mind that it'll take e it apart, but be sure to check the hub to make sure that it won't be seized or the flange is broken and the spokes aren't broken too on the old wheel.
Do new bmx tires come with spokes?
Tyres/tires are the rubber things that makes contact with the ground, they don't come with spokes. Rims are the (usually) metal hoops that the tyres/tires sit on, and they too usually don't come with spokes. Wheels consist of hub, spokes, and rim when you buy them. To make them rideable you need to add tyres/tires and tubes.
What is a pyramid bicycle rim strip?
A rim strip is simply a ribbon that is used to protect the tube from the ends of the spokes as they come through the rim. I have no clue to what "pyramid" has to do with it. It might be the brand name of the rim strip.
