PaRtZ Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 If I ordered some spokes which are too long/short, would it matter that much? I thought that it would just change the amount that the hub is twisted? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 It depends how much too long or short they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecatracingcat Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 2mm either way is ok but in the end the wheel still has to be at tension, so if they are too long the the thread will run out before optimum tension. If too short the build will be well tricky and if you do get it up to tension then the nipples could break as they don't have as much thread inguaged. Wheel smith online spoke calculator...
