Peregrine 48's
« on: July 25, 2014, 07:14 AM »
Just had some rims back from the anodisers - they were originally laced to a set of peregrine / suzue 48 hole hubs on what I remember was laced either 3 over 1 or 4 over 1. I took some photos on my mobile before I stripped them down and subsequently lost the phone and the photo's! :uglystupid2:

I have to drop them to a great little bike shop tomorrow with one of the original spokes so they can get relaced. Will he be able to work out how to relace them?

When I was born, the world was a far simpler place.
It was all just cops and robbers.
And BMX.

you'd be surprised just how easy it is to do yourself :-)

and its probably a 4x build ... over 3 and under 1 ( so crossing 4 )

How long are the spokes?  You can tell by the length.  :daumenhoch:

stidds spoke calculator and wheel build how to ^"^

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1344.0.html        (for 3x though :-X; it's also 36 hole but i think that difference doesn't matter..?)

here's one on lacing 48s
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,169737.msg1701560.html#msg1701560
it's 3x, but think it's also described there how the 4x would be done

ah, here
"step by step instructions that will do a 4 cross patern for 36 or 48 spoke wheels"
http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=47611             (cheerio Wildon :daumenhoch: ..and caleb_k31)

..and think you can work with our guide after all:
There only difference between a 3x and 4x wheel is that 3x is over 2 spokes and under 1 and 4x is over 3 spokes and under 1.

Other than that it is the same.

Try this. It's an old guide, 2002 or so. George uses a 48 spoke wheel built 4 cross so it should be an exact match, structurally, for your wheel. It will take 2 hours to do one the first time, then it gets quicker and easier each time you do one. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.
