Otacon Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I have a serious headache. I have this hub, Its just a fixed hub, with a freewheel on. Nobody knows what this hub is, its dimensions, measurements, anything. So whenever im trying to get spoke lengths, its impossiable. Every wheelbuilding website i go on ses differently on how measure your hub and also how to measure the ERD of your rim. Whenever ive worked out spoke lengths, im getting a figure around 305mm, that seems mega long to me tbf. 26" rear wheel btw. Help ? Gonna ask Tarty at this rate if i can just send the hub and rim to them and if they could work out the spoke lengths and build the wheel for me !!!

Blake Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Just send em to tarty mate, I rate tarty builds extremely highly. So strong and so cheap. They won't charge extra for working out your lengths either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Happy to build it if you like, but know some people like to do their own If you fire us a pic of the rim and the hub, we can work out and email back the lengths no problem.

FamilyBiker Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) at the end you need only the hub flanges hole circle diameter and the rims inner diameter from valve hole to opposite side,plus 2x wall thickness of the rim and i could tell you... ...or adam,of course.

AdamR28 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 How could you do it with just looking at the hub though ? Built so many wheels, 'normal' dishless rear hubs with ~45mm flange and an ERD of this value (548-550 depending on if it's eyeletted or not) are usually 266, then larger flange means a slightly shorter spoke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
