Guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I have spoken ti jim-p he said that i am likely to fold the rim or snap spokes, which is beleivable. I would just like to here other peoples opinions/views on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-pantera Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 ive done it , infact the wheel is still being ridden by one of the uk's best street riders danny foster . its a 32 hole 05 echo rim laced to a profile , there is a specific size spoke that i needed but apart form that it was pritty easy and the wheel has took alot of abuse .

Sam F Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I got my Chris King 36h built onto my Echo SL rim 32h and its built fine, all 3x still, nice and true and ovbiously it will weaken it but not by much at all really.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayshell Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I would think it would mess up the crosses. I suppose you would just leave out 1 hole on each flange but than the holes next to it would strech a bit furthur but u could balance that easily by making the spoke tension adjust by feel as opposed to distance. It should work the holes on the hub are only a couple mm apart and spoke threads can adjust like 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
