Title: Spoke size
Post by: CustardLips on July 20, 2013, 01:27 AM

Low flange hubs to 1.75 Araya aero's in 3X pattern ? Stidds's spoke calculator says 182mm. Found some on ebay and description says: 182 usually used for large flange hubs on 20" bmx wheels.  ???
I'm guessing the calc is right but you never know ! Can anyone gimme a second opinion.  :daumenhoch:

Nice one mate, but not really questioning stidds calculator. Built 3 wheelsets using it but the spoke description says otherwise which put a little doubt in my mind. Thought somebody might be able to tell me one way or the other the description is bollux.  :daumenhoch:
Surely enough Radsters have built Araya aeros on low flange hubs.  ???
