Fixed Pants™ Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) You mean is it hard to relace spokes etc? Yeah it's pretty difficult but if you really want new rims and don't feel too confident your LBS should be able to do it for you, for a small price obviously.

Jed Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 How much do you think it might cost for a bike shop to fit the rims with my spokes and hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 How much do you think it might cost for a bike shop to fit the rims with my spokes and hub?about a tenner? If yyour getting a different rim to what your currently using theres a chance you might need new spokes since the ERD can differ so you may need longer or shorter spokes (ERD is the distance from one spoke hole to it's opposite spoke hole (not the proper term but you know what i mean))Why not try doing it yourself? just buy a spoke key (about a 5er) loosen off all the spokes tape the new rim to your current rim with the valve hole in the same place and then swap each spoke to the right hole and then tighten all of the spokes, (if you do want to do it look in the faq section in members chat obm did a proper guide ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
