FalseProphecy Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 How much of a pain is it to lace these together? Does anyone know whether there will be many variables to a regular build Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Bit of a ballache to do a decent job of it. For the sake of swapping one of the parts I don't really understand why people look to do this so frequently? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalseProphecy Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well CBa buying a hubshell and if there was a 36 hole rim that would be just tremendous unfortunately they don't exist anymore.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 If you "can't be arsed" to buy a hubshell then you certainly won't be arsed to do a decent job of it. If you can't track down a rim to fit (although there are still plenty about) then your best bet would be to buy another hub/wheel and sell yours to cover the cost. Second hand stuff is dirt cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC12345678910 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) it's no bother and I've done half a dozen or so. The wheel works perfectly well and lacing up usually works itself out , i.e. you'll put in a spoke hole where the spoke will very obviously not reach or tighten up, then put it in the one next to it that will. Have a go. Just lace/tension it as if it was a normal 32h build - round of 8, flip the wheel over, another round of 8 and so on and so forth. Edit: I've just thought of a top tip. Buy spoke nipples - If u have standard 12mm nipples that usually come with spokes, replace them with 14 or 16s, it'll make it so much easier as you'll never have the situation where the spoke isn't long enough to thread in to the nipple. It is SO f**king annoying when this happens! Edited December 1, 2014 by CC12345678910 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
