Asahi Spokes
« on: May 29, 2009, 06:06 PM »
Hey guys!

Lookin to lace up some Ukai 20 x 1.75 Rims to Suntour sealed low flange hubs.

Seen some Asahi spokes 194mm 7 5/8". Are these the correct size?

Also they come in Chrome or Stainless Steel... which is best? The stainless steel are 5 quid more fro some reason????

Advice would be mucho appreciated fellas  :daumenhoch:

Just done some Araya 7X onto Suntour low flange hubs with 194mm spokes. As Marc says, you have to lace them 4 cross! Good luck!

Is 4 cross the standard way of lacing them then... I laced some Z-Rims to suntour hubs in the past (shown in the pic) but just copied the lacing from an old picture. It worked out great but I couldn't tell ya if it was 4 cross or not  :idiot2:

Cheers

They look four cross to me - at least the lacing pattern looks the same as my Araya's.

But an expert on lacing wheels I am not...............that's why I paid for someone else to do it!
