monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Question: Does anyone know who it is who's made a bouldering wall recently? One of my trials contacts on FB has been posting the odd picture of the progress (thought it was Josh Kydd but apparently not) but I can't find it now... any ideas?

forteh Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think either Paul or Robin were knocking one up? Could be wrong of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Iolo did one too, I think? EDIT: Think either Will Arnold or Matt Barlow or someone along those lines did too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Tried using the search function but didn't get anywhere good. I remember @Mark W having an inspired a few years back which was a colour called 'smoked paprika' or something. Does anyone know if that thread is still around?

TrialsIsHard Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Can I reuse spokes from a Spank subrosa to a Zoot rear rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 More than likely. I've always reused spokes and occasionally just messed around with cross numbers to make things work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not, unfortunately! From memory the Subrosa ERD is around 475mm, and the Zoot one is 494mm so they're way too different for that to really work I'm afraid.

Which seemed to work... What should I be looking out for? eg. spokes having x number of threads exposed. etc that would indicate they are too short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 If they were ones that went from the Spank to the Zoot, they'd theoretically be quite a bit too short so you'd end up having some threads showing, or the tips of the spokes being pretty low in the nipples. If they're too low then it can lead to the nipples shearing at the rim more easily because they're no longer supported by the spoke properly. If they were a little on the long side for the Spanks it could be they're in the sweet spot that means they're just about OK for the Zoot rim though.

What should I be looking out for? eg. spokes having x number of threads exposed. etc that would indicate they are too short Just a quick one I thought of after our call, it may be worth double checking whether the wheel's laced 2x or 3x. The reason I mention it is that the Hope/Spank combo would usually be laced with 228-230mm spokes 3x, so you should have spokes in that kind of length. The Hope/Zoot combo in 2x uses 228.6mm spokes for 2x, so if your old spokes have ended up finishing that close to the head of the nipple it would suggest it may be 2x? This is the calculator the Hope/Zoot combo to give you an idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
