Hey guys!
Lookin to lace up some Ukai 20 x 1.75 Rims to Suntour sealed low flange hubs.
Seen some Asahi spokes 194mm 7 5/8". Are these the correct size?
Also they come in Chrome or Stainless Steel... which is best? The stainless steel are 5 quid more fro some reason????
Advice would be mucho appreciated fellas :daumenhoch:

they will be fine you will need to lace them 4 cross pattern.
stainless wont rust like chrome does. hence why more

Just done some Araya 7X onto Suntour low flange hubs with 194mm spokes. As Marc says, you have to lace them 4 cross! Good luck!

Is 4 cross the standard way of lacing them then... I laced some Z-Rims to suntour hubs in the past (shown in the pic) but just copied the lacing from an old picture. It worked out great but I couldn't tell ya if it was 4 cross or not :idiot2:
Cheers

They look four cross to me - at least the lacing pattern looks the same as my Araya's.
But an expert on lacing wheels I am not...............that's why I paid for someone else to do it!
