re-lacing rim
« on: December 12, 2009, 10:24 PM »
is there any other way of re-lacing a rim as i have followed the diagrams listed on the (how to) section. it seems as if  the spokes are too long but they are the same size as the ones i have taken out.  :-[ please help :-\

I take it you are using the same diametre hubs , ie large flange or small flange as this will obviously make a diference  :D  If you are and the spokes you have bought are the same length as the originals there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to lace it . Otherwise as Glen says you need to know whether to lace it  3 or 4 cross.

What rims are they ? what hubs Large flange , small flange ? what are the lenght of the spokes you took out ? From this I should be able to tell you what lacing pattern you have, 3 cross or 4 cross  :daumenhoch:
