TheMunn Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I think you just build it like any normal wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 These slotted spoke holes shouldn't affect the building procedure . Just be sure though I'd like to hear Tarty's opinion on this , given his considerable knowledge and experience with wheelbuilds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 they just clip in-its hard to say without showing you buts very easy, just wiggle the spoke head in the hole and you will soon see how it fixes :P sorry i cant be much more specific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecatracingcat Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Yeah they just sort of hook in. But I wouldn't recomend them for anything more than xc. When you load and unload a wheel if the spokes are able to move back and forth they will fatigue and snap. A good quality hub like a Hope DT Swiss or King have very snug fitting spoke holes and this can make them a tad fiddlier to build but they make a vert durable wheel. If it's a front hub you should be OK for trials but I wouldn't waste a build on a rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin t Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Dont u need straightpull spokes on those hubs, or maybe its only on race hubs you use that :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
