RobinJI Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 The only thing he didnt mention is that you shoul make sure that when drive is applyed to the wheel (or breaking force for disc wheels) the ste of spokes that tentioned should be the set on the outside of the flange. So on a standared rear hub the out-bound spokes should be going anti-clockwise on the dive side (looking at the wheel from the drive side) and the non-drive should be going clockwise (looking from the non-drive side). where as on a front disc hub they should be doing the oposite and on a rear disc hub they should be going anti-clockwise from both sides. (drive side for the driving force and disc side for the breaking force). However I havent noticed the difference on my jump bike since fitting a disc to a wheel built with rim-break use in mind, but this is how wheels are meant to be built.

TheMunn Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 That is one strange way to build a wheel, its alot easier to lace one side first, usually the one with the smaller flange then do the other side, tension it up and your away. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
