Lawnmowerman Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 32h is left 262/261 right 36h is left 259/258 right And DAB it isn't as easy as that. You have to know the ERD of the rim as dt do not list trials rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to know the ERD of the rim as dt do not list trials rimsthere was a lovely invention years ago called a errrm what was it again errrrm thats right a tape measure The easy way to work out the rim diameter is to get two bits of wire with ends on (two old spoke with nipples glued on is good) measuring 150mm from the tip to the inner lip of the nipple, to get the measurement, put spokes through rim holes at opposite ends hold the spokes together in the middle and measure the overlapped take that off 300mm and presto ie: say if you have an overlap of 52mm the rim diameter is 248mm....I've built thousand of wheels and the dtswiss chart is never wrong just get measurements right..
