Spoke lengths - HELP

<< < (2/3) > >>

dj_benice:
no 48 spokes on my rides either  >:D

SaMAlex:
48s were 90s only I guess. Not out in the early 80s, old hat in 2000s.

I guess you cant really get a low flange 48 hole hub and the rims are all 20 x 1.75 so its only really one spoke length anyway. Not much of a "chart" there is there?

jimwise68:
Twas good enough for me apart from i need 185mm and 189mm and all i can find is 184s, 186s and 190s.  :laugh:

dj_benice:
 :daumenhoch:  Jim there is a guy in the US who cuts em to length and they work out about the same as over here if ya get nipples (bout £20 for 72 spokes n nips but he chucks afew spare spokes in incase ;) ) if there's no rush, i am sure somebody in the uk must offer same service but i am a patient man ;)  >:D ::) :LolLolLolLol:

TwoBobRob:
I've always got good answers from Custom Riders on wheel building queries.  As for a 1mm difference in lengths, I wouldn't worry about it. Too long can be cut down, and 1mm too short is no harm, no foul as you'll have way more than 1mm screwed into the nipple....  ;)
