Mr Motivator Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1852 If the weight is around a 521 and it has a good width, this in my new front rim (N)" Then I'll just have to get out the drill. So does anyone know of the width, weight and ERD of this rim please as I've had a good look around but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Ok, next question; Echo ERD is 545mm and Sun is 543mm. Thats 2mm difference, recon I could get away with using my current Echo build spokes? Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Just been playing on the hopetech spoke calc and found that my current spokes will be exactly 1mm too long. Will they be ok to build with? Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam ← Having never built a wheel, this is just what I have heard, so take this with a pinch of salt: When rebuilding a wheel, you should always use new spokes as they dont take kindly to undergoing tension/no tension/tension again when you rebuild the wheel. Hope that helps! ~Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron_trials _247 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 its not the retenstioning that does spokes in but if they are the wrong size it is adviseable to use new ones i built my old front wheel with 4mm too long on one side and exactly the right spokes on the other side yes was undertentioned (to say the least) and did have a mahousive egg but after a few dan taps it would be the same anyways so ... jus got a new echo rim and spoikes.. so what size do you need might have some laying around as it goes?
