Luke Rainbird Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Should be fine, and as suggested before it could be built up 4xCould also (possibly) be that they used spokes which were too long I would imagine, but so long as you got them built by a decent wheelbuilder they should be Ok, and will have been done with the correct spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Yeah, thats a 4x build, with plain gauge 14g spokes. Shouldn't cause you any problems as long as the wheelbuilder did a good job (doesn't look like the spokes have been bedded in correctly though).Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the judge Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 urm will that affect the strength of the wheel?thanksJohn KanI think it just means that after a couple of rides the spokes will bed in and the wheel will go out of true, so you'll have to get it trued again. Preferably by a better wheelbuilder i.e. tarty bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
