Mr Motivator Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Heat up a kive and cut off the knobs, Fin. Lemme guess miles, mr sivyer man was too scared to do the spokes to tight? :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Lemme guess miles, mr sivyer man was too scared to do the spokes to tight? B) ← surprisingly, yes! B) but, andy P had a look at it yesterday and noticed that the drive side has been laced with DT double butted spokes, and the non-drive side is laced with plain gauge! (Y) and the DT spokes twisted when he tried to tighten them, so they can't be tensioned anymore than they already are, so the plain guage spokes can't be tensioned anymore either! (Y) anyone want to shed some light as to why it has been built like this??!! looks like i mite be needing a tart build! (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy P Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 It was the other way around Miles. DT swiss plain gauge on the drive side, no name double butted oon the non-drive side :blink: . The non-drive side spokes twist stupid amounts ( about 360 before the nipples even start to tighten!! ) and cant be tightend anymore than they are so everything is loose.....I'd go back and get the guy to lace the non drive side with DT spokes - F.O.C Andy P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 In that case, go back to sivyers and have a rant. You would have payed for DT swiss on both sides, so thats what you shoud have! It's probably cause he didnt have the right length spokes thoo.. hey hum Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 yeah, but i doubt he will do anything for free, because ive already given it bak 2 him twice! (Y) reckon i'l get tart to re-build it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 reckon i'l get tart to re-build it ← Feel free to do that if you like, exams have finished now, so turnaround is back to the normal 1-2 days :wub: As for helping out at the moment - sounds like your nipples need a bit of lube (oooooOOooohhh sir). Im not sure why he's decided to use plain/butted mix of spokes... probably as Andy said - didnt have the right length... or, though you'd need stronger spokes on the drive side cos its trials... or something. Either way, he sounds well oldskool, haha, being afraid to tension drilled rims! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
