Johan Bornman Posted June 21, 2013 Share Thats a very good question. Im considering swapping from Arch rims to flows, it would be much cheaper if I could use the same spokes, i think new nipples might be a good idea though.I'm sure JB can enlighten us. -edit- Im a bit slow on the keyboard 29-er Arch has an ERD of 607 and29-er Flow has an ERD of 603.. Your spokes will be far too long if you from Arch to Flow. Edited June 21, 2013 by Johan Bornman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, we have a 30% discount on Shimano at the moment. Edited June 23, 2013 by Johan Bornman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baaisikilist Posted June 23, 2013 Share I have Industry 9 hubs with I9 spokes and 26" Crest rims, which are a bit soft. Is it possible to 'swop' the crests for ArchEX without having to buy new spokes...? I9 spokes are damn expensive, and as far as I know/can see, I have to run I9 spokes with these hubs as they aren't normal J bend...

King_Crispy Posted June 23, 2013 Share If you get brass ones and you currently have alu nipples then you would need new spokes as the threads are cut differently.***.Where do you get that from?Spokes are spokes and nipples are nipples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johan Bornman Posted June 24, 2013 Share Can the spokes be snipped and knurled by that elegant machine of yours? Yes, but imagine the trouble taking that wheel apart. Since the spokes are already used, you can't swap outbound and inbound spokes. Thus, you have to strip the wheel, keeping left left and left right separate, as with right left and right right. Then you have to cut and thread each one and rebuild the wheel. Most people don't want to pay me for doing that, thinking it happens automatically and for free.

A simple rim transplant can be done. But why bother, break the Crests first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoc Posted July 1, 2014 Share Pulled the trigger yesterday on the ZTR Flow EX rims. Took my ZTR Olympic wheelset to CWC and booked in for the rebuild.Today I got a call from CWC informing me that I will need new spokes and nipples as the spokes are 4mm too short. All the calculators I used, showed a 1mm variance between the two rims, no matter what lace configuration used.Needless to say I will now be a further +-R1000 out of pocket.Peeved I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!
