Homemade front hub - ti / cnc / 7075

Recommended Posts

Hey, just a word of advice needed. Making a new front hub but as money's tight I'm

Using the same spokes but changing the flange spacing, so how would I go about calculating the new flange diameter ( increasing flange distance so flange diameter has to increase.

i don't really want to keep plugging numbers Into the dt Swiss calculator until it works but ill have to if there's no easy way :)

Onza pro series front hub 28h laced to tryall h0lr front rim , radially laced 26"

Any help would be appreciated :)

I'd cheat and draw it out to scale, using the rim spoke hole as the centre of a circle with a radius of the spoke length. Check out where it crosses an elongated flange at the wider width, et voila.

Yes very clever.

I hadn't even realized he was actually machining a new hub.

Is this for real ? You can design and machine your own hub but are struggling with working out dimensions to use the same spokes.

Make one of these hubs for Luke while your at it will you. I am shure he would love it.

And posting this is helping or usefull ?

The above quote from your post I belive to be nothing but slander or bullying online.

I am not sour about it. It's just comments like that, that make this forum as usless as I find it a lot of the time.

So Luke either come up with the answer to the question or don't bother

Sure thing - Alex, sling me the info for your current setup and what you're aiming to do with the flange on your new hub and I'll see what I can come up with (Y)

The difference is my post, while not relevant to the original question, has the potential to lead to less of your constant spouting of incorrect/useless bullshit. Your post adds precisely nothing, much like the vast majority of bull that you put on TF. That said, it'd require you to actually read the post and take note, which you've already proved you're not capable of in this thread.

Take it as slander or bullying if you want, either way you're a 'tard.

The basic arrangement for cross-laced spokes is thus:

Spoke Length = sqrt[ (RRSP - (HSR * cos(SAA)))^2 + HFO^2 - (HSR * cos(SAA))^2 ]

For radial (straight) spokes, the formula is simpler:

Spoke Length = sqrt[ (RRSP - HSR)^2 + HFO^2 ]

  • RRSP (Rim Radius plus Spoke Penetration) is half of the Effective Rim Diameter given by the manufacturer plus 2mm for the spoke's penetration into the nipple
  • HSR (Hub Spoke Radius) is the radius from the hub center to the outermost edge of the spoke holes on the hub
  • SAA (Spoke Anchor Angle) is the angle of from the hub spoke hole to rim hole that the spoke goes to. It depends upon the lacing pattern and which individual spoke you are calculating for.
  • HFO (Hub Flange Offset) is the distance from the hub's flange to the lateral center of the wheel, based upon the dish of the wheel. For a front wheel, this will be the same on each side, but for a rear wheel, which has a dish to accommodate the rear gears, this is different for each side since the hub's own lateral center is different from the wheel's lateral center.

If the old onza pro hub measures up the same as the 2012 onza hubs. Which I hope they should be close if not the same.

Old onza hub should measure dia, 30

And c-f 32 on both sides. Unless its a disc model.

You could make it quite a lot wider.

I used c-f 40 mm both sides

And with that you will need a flange dia of 32 mm to use the same spokes.

257 mm spokes

Thanks to Luke ads and ash, ads that's ideal thank you exactly what I was asking for :)

And yes dez mtber I can machine and make a hub, I was simply asking for some advice or a shortcut to finding spoke lengths avoiding me trial and erroring it on dt Swiss calc

So.... before i laced this up I went 24".

Unhappily no 28h front 24 rims ( apart from bonz, which are hard to get hold of and suspiciously light. )..... as I need a non disc front wheel ; new hub time!

Cue Mk2 design, this time lighter and carbon centre. Slightly lighter at a projected 73gr plus bolts ( little lighter than the Onza non disc 2014 ).

Bearings , bolts , axle material, flange material and washer material have been sourced / saved from other projects, still to order my carbon and resin!

Same basic design spec; very wide flange, strong flanges, ti bolts.
