Title: 1 3/8 rims
Post by: rollin72 on April 04, 2011, 10:18 PM

im trying to build a set of ukai 1 3/8 rims to a pair of sr large flange hubs,ive tried 184 and 189 spokes using a 3x pattern and they are 2 small, ive looked at the spoke calculator and they are saying use a 2x pattern which doesnt seem right to me, Macmania thinks hes got it written down somewhere but he cant even put a chain on properly so I dont trust him >:D (only joking pal), has anybody built some? know the pattern and spoke length?
please help as im close to slinging the fookers :2gunsfiring_v1:
