SamHolmes Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 How strong would my wheel be if i chose to build my profile (36h) onto the echo rim (32h)? I know Craig done this bodge but woud tarty bikes be able to if I sent them the hub and rim ? Ive already got the rim on my other wheel otherwise I would of bought a 36h rim.... so how strong would it be ? Cheers Sam (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hardman Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 i built a 32hole echo rim to my 36 hole king on the rear and its holding up fine. i just got the spokes for a 32 hole wheel build and it worked fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHolmes Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hmmm....I could ask them really (Y) Does anyone else use the same bodge on here? If so, what do you think of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towler Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Just build it on a ronnie! i have my profile and Ronnie to be built up. (Y) Good strong rim, it just seems like alor of effort and it wont be as strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 if the echo rim is new why not just send it back and ask for a swap for a ronnie rim. i assume its a new rim. that would be a reet sensible idea. ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towler Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I think it would be best idea, maby see if they will take it back if its not used. or you had it a while?, sell it? What colour of profile you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I got a question.. Can I build a 32h hope into a 48h MadCow rim? Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I got a question.. Can I build a 32h hope into a 48h MadCow rim? Sam ← Thats pushing it too far. I was going to build my 36 hole profiles onto 48 hole big city rims but dan said no. And yeah dans wheel is fine I cant see any problems with it yet, he hasnt had to true it since he built the wheel which is a few months now.

Ingram Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Sam just leave it and wait for your other rim, if you do what your planning on doing that its gonna have a mjor weak spot in your rim, plus its gonna cost you more in the long run to get the rim buildt again, just leave it and get another rim :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleharrys Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Should be fine, seen it done before. just make sure you leave the free ones sapced evenly around, dont leave th four hole spokeless together obviously cos it will bunkle otherwise.
