Jamie East Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Is it possible to lace a 28h try-all rim to a 32h echo tr hub, and if so how? Would ideally like to lace it 2x or 3x. Any help much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamus Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) There have been topics like this before, a search will probably help you more then i can As for the lacing- it is physically possible however it is quite tricky and easy to mess-up/ hard to get nice even tension.I wouild suggest replacing your hub, if the rim is the new part or vice-versa.as Alex mentioned you may also need to get different spoke lengths, which no spoke calculator will be set up to calculate.this means trial and error is needed and that makes it more hassle then its worth.

eskimo Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 If your using disc i wouldn't bother unless your fully confident with wheels generally. If it's rim brake and weight saving then just stick with 32h if it's cheaper and just use light spokes and alloy nipples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) It's easy, just build it normally, but on each hub flange leave two holes unfilled opposite each other.I'm huessing Radially spoked would be easiest, but if it's a disc wheel then you want it crossed at least on the disc side.EDIT: But if you havn't bought the stuff yet, get a 28h hub aswell, it'll make your life easier.
