DAB Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) Wheels have to built right... if you don't no what your doing leave it for someone who knows how to build them...if you want to try it yourself, you can do a search on the forum as there are lots of topics on this.....ps. put where you live on your profile because if you live close, i could build them for you..

Something else to bare in mind, if you have a different rim and/or hub to your last build you will need to buy new spokes. Even if the build is exactly the same unless you really have to use the old spokes I would strongly advise against it especially if the rims are brand new. The old spokes will have stretched unevenly, especially the rear ones, making it nigh on impossible to get even tension around the wheel ultimately resulting in a sub-optimal strength build. Believe me, i've tried using old spokes and the wheel would never stay true, the small saving (36 spokes is only £8 from CRC) is really not worth the extra hassle.Hope that helpsDaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 the rim should be centra on the axle so the easiest check to get the wheel dished correctly is to flip the wheel over in the frame/forks and check the position. It works for me, and is nice and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
