Wheelsets and Spoke lengths

(1/1)

NORTY40:
Nothing quite like a freshly built set of wheels , so i thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to show them off  8)

I have a shed load of rims and hubs to build up so Im going to add the spoke length i used aswell . This is by no means mean't as a definitive guide to the spoke length but it is what has worked for me . I would always recommend you use Sean's spoke length calculator to confirm the length of spoke you require before you purchase spokes .

Great thread idea Joffytots  :4_17_5:

As a suggestion.... maybe for people too tight or lazy to buy a set of those calipers to properly measure the vital statistics of their hubs, might be a good idea to post them up if anyone's just measured some?
