EnnBee Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I am just trying to put my wheels back together after having the rims spayed. I have managed to lace the back one 3x but the front one is different its a hope mono disc hub and i have only just noticed that the hub flanges are 2 different sizes and so are the spokes. I have tried lacing the longer spokes to the smaller flange and it wont work. Please help as i have nipples and grease and spokes every where cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Possibly crossed on the disk side and radial on the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Do the same as you did for the back wheel. Assemble the spokes that run from the inside of the small flange first, then the spokes from the inside of the big flange (Lace these to the hole beside the ones you've already put in - for a front hub set these spokes as the ones that see tension when you hold the rim and spin the hub forward.The spokes from both sides of the hub should be more or less parallel with each other and the valve hole should be right beside one of the spokes with the other in the next spoke hole on the same side. Both spokes should be to the same side of a line between the centre of the hub and the valve hole - this means you'll be able to get a pump onto the valve easily. Then lace spokes that go from the outside of the hub flanges - I'd try 3X first, if the spokes seem too long (Don't judge this until you have all the spokes from one flange in) then try 4X, but unless its a 36 spoke wheel it's not going to be pretty. Use the longer spokes for the small hub flange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Koxx hydroxx 2 Jack * Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 or you could have just put masking tape over the spokes and nipples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan_echo26 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) What hub, rim and sizes of spokes have you got?If its a disc hub then I think quite often they are half radial, and half 2 cross.The radial side would be the longest spokes and go to the smallest flange, and the bigger flange (disc side of the hub) would be 2 cross.^This could be correct but not definitely.

EnnBee Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks for all your help folks. It turns out it was just a simple 2x each side ive got it all straight and true spokes were just a bit long but i will angle grind the tops off later. Thanks again.

duncan_echo26 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 If they are too long maybe it should be 3 cross insted of 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
