Mark W Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Front should be 537mm, rear should be 532mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My spokes for the front are way too long. I took a ruler and measured it. Came out around 527/520. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 That's definitely not, anything less than 530 ERD for a 26" rim is nuts... correct lacing pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be for single wall rims no less than 530? I've got the Echo TR Hub and said rim. Spokes are 253 for sure. I tried to lace it up radially and the spokes were way too long (not only 1mm). Laced the wheel differently now (2crosses) and it works perfectly. If it were 537 laced with 2 crosses the spokes should have 258mm. I think I'd notice the difference of 5mm. Edit: I just measured the rims with a flexible tape measure. For the front I end up having 530mm (532mm using this method for the rear 522mm (524 using this method) mm.

AdamR28 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Are you actually measuring the ERD though? Reason I ask is that it doesn't sound like it: https://leonard.io/edd/howtomeasure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 That still doesn't sound right - I just looked through our rims list on the spoke calculator and the only rim we've stocked that's been under 530mm ERD for a 26" is the 2012 SL rim (which is a different style to the one you posted) which is 529mm. Everything else is 530's/540's, or even 550's for the newer Hashtagg rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted July 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Well... this is the front wheel and when calculating with an ERD of 532mm I have to take 255mm spokes (crossed twice). I did this and they fit perfectly. Even better than the 253mm spokes I used before. I think the rims are from 2009 though. edit: If I put the front onto the rear rim there's about a 4mm difference the latter being narrower. This seems about right according to my measurements. I may have gotten a very rare batch. Edited July 7, 2016 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 The ERD I gave up to was what we had on the product description for the '09 ones - they're hidden on back end so they can't be viewed from the customer end but we can scope them out. Either way, I guess if the wheels are laced then that's the main thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I guess that's the spandex version of how to lace a wheel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 That's not really the case, especially if you're talking about your rear wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rear I would never go x2. On the front it's not that much of a matter although x2 on a 32 hole rim is not ideal. In any case after having had a look at my garage I found the right spokes for radial lacing and will do so. Sucks as I laced the wheel twice yesterday thinking I had only spokes 253mm and up. Could've used those two hours for something else. Edited July 8, 2016 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
