Title: wheel build peregrine hubs onto araya super 7x 48's
Post by: firebird4130 on April 10, 2008, 09:53 AM

Hi, I have taken my rims and hubs to get built , but the guy says he's gotta use 176 mm spokes and that he can't source them anywhere, does anyone have any or know where I can get custom spokes made, I reckon he just can't be arsed  :LolLolLolLol:

Length sounds about right for 3x, but you could ask him if he'd be able to do them 4x and then you'd be looking at a spoke probably around 183 / 184mm long???

These will be way handier to get...

Asked the guy if he would do that and he said it won't work on a high flanged hub, something to do with them all crossing over or something, maybe someone else would be able to do it and he can't I'm not sure, but thanks for the suggestion

had the same problem a wheel builder here in France, guy didn't want to build me 36 H on high flanges with 4 cross, wheel builders with ethics or what???  :LolLolLolLol:
I have several other sets with this 4 cross pattern...

I built my peregrine Hp48s (peregrine hubs and rims) with 4 cross, no problems.

I took the wheels to another bike shop in the end, there was just way too many problems at the first one, the one doing them now just said 'yep no problem ,be done in a week" So I'm happy now. Thanks for the suggestions :daumenhoch:
