Title: Araya aero spoke length to large flange hubs
Post by: hunterdubber on March 02, 2010, 10:32 PM

I've done 'em before and I think used 184's 3 cross,  but they were slightly  long and needed filing back on the innertube side

so is there an alternative , maybe doing  4 cross and another spoke length

its because the Aeros are proud and reduce the  inner circumference  , than standard 7X :-\

help , before I order , :)

180mm for 3 cross on LF hubs  :daumenhoch:

Not sure on the 4 cross alternative  :-\

As a rough guideline the diference in spoke length when lacing 3cross on a LF hub and lacing 4cross on a LF hub (Araya 7X rim) is approx 10mm , so in theory you need 190mm spokes for 4 cross on the Aero's .

Does that make sense  ::)   :LolLolLolLol:
