bhups Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) [hello,I built my wheel myself yesterday following sheldon browns guide but the thing is there are some spokes which seems to long and stick out of the top of the rim to far, then one side of the hub seems really far out and the other seems really far in (if that makes sence) and the wheel is very untrue. Should i unlace it and rebuild or can it be sorted out. Its a 32 hole echo cnc rim to a echo 05 fixed hub.many thanks bhups,[attachmentid=6398][attachmentid=6397][attachmentid=6399] Edited August 9, 2006 by bhups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 you probably need the right size spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhups Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I ordered them off tarty and they said there the right size for 3x which i did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 And you started off by tightening all the spokes so the thread on the spokes was completely hidden by the nipple?I did that, and then had to dish the rim over about half an inch when i built my front wheel, then just go round tightening. That looks a bit weird, are some spokes tight and some poke out that far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
