is that right?
had the suntour precision high flang blue hubs , had some new spokes, bought some nos rims and tyres
:LolLolLolLol:
spoke layout looks weird?
first go at 4 cross.
-
Steve matie, wot spoke length did u use?
-
It looks right to me. over 3 spokes and under the 4th.
If the spokes are too long for 3 cross then I usually find they are right for 4 cross.................unless they are really loooooong!!
-
i know my mistake now - or slight mistake
-the spokes are coming out the hubs the wrong way
when you start you come through the hub and go right
then go in and go left
-ive gone in and right out and left
:LolLolLolLol:
spokes are i think 191mm
i think the 194 is low flange
who else on here has bought the cheap blue nipples from hong kong -= i just orededereded 5 packs of 75, they say they are not in stock till 30 june - thats cobblers
still elsewhere they are £7 for 50
they are £1.99 for 75 from them £7 delivery for 5 packs
still i must wait
its like knitting innit, watching the fooxball building wheels, i can't help misel,
next on the adenda is to pull the ooper rare 28 hole gen 1 bullseyes from their 1.18 old school sun mistrals, then fit them to some 406-19 etro, or 20 by what ever they are 7c lookalikes - the rims are on ebay at £4 each, which is much nicer than paying £45 a pair.
still, the bloke has loads, you can find 28 hole campy hubs on the bay, have nice wheels fo cheap.
see here,

as long as they are a simple flat rim like a weinmann or 7c i dont care
if they have a v in them, i dunno if i'll bother
but for £4!!!

this is what i mean about the nipplettes, £2 for 75 - super cheap, so you order a tenners worth, only to be told that they are not in stock
boolax.
oh p.s. the cheapest place for spokes is cycle sport £10 for 100
buy 300 spokes and you can do 4 sets of wheels!!!
30 divided by 8 is £3.50 a wheel
