ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for mounting spokes (1) between a hub (2) and rim (3) of a spoke wheel (4) comprises a hub support (8) for rotatably supporting the hub. Rim support rollers (11) support the rim concentrically around the hub. A drive (10) is provided for rotating the rim around the axis of the wheel. A rotatably drivable screw driver (14) is adapted to screw nipples (7) onto respective spokes through holes (6) in the rim. By means of a CCD camera (43) the positions of the holes (6) in the rim (3) are detected and a spoke support (36) and the screw driver (14) are adjustable to allow the screw driver and each set of nipple (7), spoke (1) and nipple hole (6) in the rim (3) to be accurately aligned.
