Honestly many people would have thrown these RM250 wheels away! I was able to breathe some life back into them with a little love.

25:46 what a great time for my mom to walk in and hear what I’m listening to 🙄, thanks

LOLOLOL

[@empiresrikesfat]

Im going to do some polishing now

[@mattharrell4]

Lmfao he had me laughing from the beginning when he said it was his first time doing rims, he probably didn’t mean anything by that one but I just had a feeling he would crack some jokes like this at some point. I love this guy!

[@Robferist]

waaaaaaaahahahahahahha

[@Rob.DB.]

Love the fact you don't over-promote your product & even though you have enough capital to buy all that stuff new, you are educating us all on how to diy & save some $ at same time. You are even re-using the spokes & nipples that are ready available & pretty cheap! Also I didn't know one could have the protective finishes re-applied! Thank you & you are a most humble & honourable person, helping to restore my faith in humanity!!!

[@woofhound1635]

Polishing the tubes with the drill was a great idea...

[@daveshepherd7582]

Glad you’re making videos again and thanks for sharing all the money saving DIY stuff!

Nice I’ve got a complete rebuilt 04 rm250 not even hour on it

[@downtoearthconstruction7768]

Thats awesome! Currently rebuilding my childhood db a 96 rm125. Had to play doctor on the oil drain from casing it, had a new bung welded in and ill be running a skid plate from now on.

[@derailleurmind0454]

@@downtoearthconstruction7768 picking up a 98 for my girlfriends first bike(and I'm gonna steal for 6 or 9 motos 😆) excited about it never personally rode pre 01' Rm.

[@lovintrump5755]

Love the vid. Little tip , I use zip ties where the spokes cross each other that way spokes are kept in position.

[@johndoug4794]

Now that's a Pryme example of restoring usable hardware! Hats off to you Cam!

[@benwalker6530]

So patient and such a chilled out way of working, Cam you make it look so easy!

[@Dirt_Bike_Dave]

Hey Cameron, so Happy to see you working on videos again...Can't wait for that RM to get all finished.

[@smidly7192]

It would be cool to see an anodizing vs cerakote vs powder video. I know you've done powder vs cerakote before.

[@Achilleas7]

We all have a calling in these crazy times brother! ;-) Today i dropped out on trying to remove a tire having all the tools (shame on me, i know) and i return to my pc to find this upload helping me do it right tomorrow. Put a gearbox in place instead... Can't wait to show off my builds with the new line of 2STOKED stickers that are in transit already! Thanks for everything Cameron! -A world of riders

[@interstellaraxeman4468]

What I am impressed to see is when other rebuilders use Pryme and network good word about your products,....You should be proud. I plan on relying on things I have seen here and elsewhere using those resources as well,.... Currently looking for a PRYME candidate,... ( yeah,...I did that...) lol Thanks Cameron.

[@brettholm3564]

I get all worked over this bike.... Boy oh boy it’s gonna be good! Well done Cam. Love the ideas and creativity!

[@tomatoknuckles]

I usually get the other half to shine my shaft and nuts 👀 And honestly cam we're glad you're back doing these vids we definitely appreciate them 👍

[@joeltrotter2119]

Appreciate the adventure and exploring with trying new things. Hope if something doesn't work out you post it. Then explain how you fixed it or didn't. Also respect the hell out of safety aspect! Appreciate your patients and content! Thank you!!!!!

[@robbiejensen6161]

Dude your vids are the best... hope your health is doing good.. keep ya head up

[@carlosheredia3533]

I actually have done this type of work on a set of rims for my 89 cr250r project last year. Purchased your rough and fine wheels combo and was very impressed with the quality and results on the rims, spokes and nipples. Then ran with it to rest of the aluminum parts as well the fork tubes and was just amazed how it all came out. 👊🏾

[@CameronNiemela]

That’s awesome to hear!!

[@MrCSRT8]

Really great work as always, and a pleasure to watch these vids!

[@ShadleBuilt]

You make me want to start my own business by restoring wheels!

I’m having FasterUSA build a wheel set for my son’s 03 RM125. Factory Suzuki yellow rims, bronze ceracote hubs, Buchanan spokes with red spike nipples and new Dunlop tires 💯👍🔥

[@dustinguriel620]

Blown away by the results !

[@taks9398]

Pro-Tip: when polishing up spokes, just pop the threaded end in a drill and hit it with some Scotchbrite just like you did those fork tubes at the end. You can do the same for the spoke nipples, just find a good fitting bit for your drill and hit with a tiny piece of the Scotchbrite 🙌 Zip zip and your done!

[@stinkycat74]

This is going to be good, you inspire me to do my 125 and 250cr. 🙌

[@jonjensen8816]

Nice johndeere gloves Cameron

[@MM_1309]

Hi there. As always great tips and results. I'm a big fan of those surface conditioning wheels 🙂. It's dificult to find them nearby, specially in wheel shape and with that density. Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹

Olá Cameron tudo bem, aqui no Brasil ainda não encontrei esse produto já vi vários vídeos de limpeza com eles tanto no alumínio como no materiais ferrosos a minha tornado é 2008 não pretendo trocar parafusos originais mas sim recuperamos, não sou profissional da área mas curto fazer a manutenção da motoca pois ela é o meu xodó da tecnologia de vcs é muito avançada nesse sentido e vc tá de parabéns por exibir esses produtos até breve amigo tudo de bom e muita saúde se cuidem ok

Shafts, nuts and nipples..... I bet the google algorithm is freaking out on this one.:D Looking well Cameron, always good to save and refurb, than buy new.

[@CameronNiemela]

Hahaha thanks man

[@xd_gangster693]

"i got a little too carried away polishing my shafts, my nuts, and my nipples" lol Cam knows how to properly time a joke

[@MotorcycleParody]

fix it if it is fixable, it´s my thing, time consuming, but the best thing to do in my opinion. For the hi-tech rim spanking, you should get some harder wood like rock maple, must be easy for you to get it. Rock maple, bubinga, wenge, padouk, purple heart, some harder stuff that handles better those hits without getting torn with just a few hits. I just uploaded a video were I talk about my absolutely bad timing regarding the Broke to Build contest.. It is really something that is stuck in my throat :| I won´t spam the video here, but if you find some free time to watch it, I would really apreciate your words regarding what I have been doing. In this last upload you find the link to the rebuild playlist, were I took it absolutely all apart, I even built parts with my own hands, etc, and tried to go Cameron style :) much respect for your work

I am restoring a 76 YZ125. I have re zinced many bolt and nuts with excellent results. Getting ready to re zinc my spokes, but some after cleaning some still have some dark spots that I can not get out. I have tried cleaning them with Acetone which helps, but doesn't get the dark spots out completely. Do you have any tips?

[@Loudn55]

Pitbike build please!!

[@bump2007]

Nice work. What shop is doing the plating? Ive got a couple quotes but they were way higher on just the minimum. Ive been considering doing it myself.

[@andrewgerber7863]

On the fork tubes is that all motorcycle forks it the coating in and out or just that bike?

[@barcuda1250]

Just a quick 1 for filter your better with 3m2135 filter it the alloy welding 1 You have vapor filter with a particulate filter on it all good but Expensive and you meant to change them all the time eg heavy use vapor they only good fot 8 hours But grate job pointing it out but yer the filters get super complicated a haha That number is the correct number it has a carbon layer though it way better for normal non vapor stuff Im in nz so hopefully you can get same 1 there
