SamIveson98 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hey, i have a profile mini casette hub that has 36 spoke holes in it and i was wondering if I can put a rim on it that only has 32 holes? (because most of the 19" rims on tartybikes are 32h!!) Would it weaken anything or would it be fine because the way i ride, i dont put the rear wheel under as much pressure and abuse as some riders do? thanks sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiuSliS Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Yes you can, but you would need to figure out how to lace a wheel taking out 4 spokes (possible, been done). But i don't know if that is the best solution, by the way, why would you run cassette hub on mod in a first place? I'd say your best bet is DX32, they come in 32h and 36h.

Jake. Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I wouldn't really recommend riding with missing spokes, even if it's built decently. The areas without spokes will be a weak spot and more can go wrong. A local riding buddy has a 36h profile and he had a few snapped spokes, he thought it would be fine but over time more and more started snapping. Do yourself a favour and buy this rim and some more spokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profile cassette doesnt mean it has a freehub body large enough for gears, it's simply the name. I wouldn't really recommend riding with missing spokes, even if it's built decently.

Haven't seen how they look, in case why not. I thought dx32 were 32h clue being dx"32"maybe wrong but...? It's just a name. Actually first dx32s were only in 36h.

aener Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Lies! I've been running a 32h Trialtech 24" rim on a 36h ProII for almost two years (ridden as trials for one year, and then as a get around bike for the other). It's fine. Miss out 12 and 6 o'clock on one side, and 3 and 9 o'clock on the other. Hasn't caused me any issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Moss Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) you could do what i did and get a 32 hole hub shell for it.
