Chrome Araya 7x & Black and Silver Bullseye hubs

<< < (2/3) > >>

If it helps, I've just managed to build 7C's with Arai8000 sealed hubs (which are dimensionally the same as your hubs I believe) with 186mm spokes 3X and short nipples and my LBS got full tension on them. 184's seem tricky to find it seems for some reason.

The wheels are on my BotM entry Team Mongoose if you want to have a look (shameless plug for votes....!)

Cheers for the heads up Spen and if that works, you get my vote  ;D  :daumenhoch:

I'll double check the length tonight as I have a couple of spares left over but you can see how I laced them and I'm no expert! I can build wheels but final tensioning I leave to my lbs as he only charges a fiver a wheel ;-)

Spen, did you get a chance to check those spoke lengths bud?
Cheers

Ooops, I forgot - I'll try and dive into the garage tonight and check in a bit when I've got the kids to bed!
