Relacing Front Wheel - Do I Need New Spokes?


Martin Reynolds

Recommended Posts

I've got a stock hope pro 2 disk hub laced 3x to a onza rim (the one with the onza hogs stamped out of them and drilled sidewalls).

I want to lace it onto a Onza sealed bearing non disk hub (http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/front_non_disc_hubs/onza_sealed_non_disc_front/c86p224.html).

I know the hubs have different flange sizes, i was wondering could i get away with using the original spokes, just lacing it 2x/1x?

I know this could properly be figured out with a spoke calculator, but that confuses the hell out of me :)

Cheers

Yes hubs are very different sizes

use this calc I think its pretty easy...

All you need is the ERD of your rim.

If you wanna change lacing still calculate it, you only get +/- 2mm of tolerance, even then its annoying, spot on spokes are worth it, halo spokes are cheap and do the job. itll only be about £7.50 for them
