XTC OKE Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 so your telling me what length spokes do I need?
Guest Big H Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 so your telling me what length spokes do I need? Be specific...... what do you want.... diameter or length??????
XTC OKE Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 I will be building with Revolution spokes so I need the Lengths
splat Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 JB is gonna ROAST you with a question like that!
splat Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I will be building with Revolution spokes so I need the Lengths Radial, 2 cross or 3 cross.28 or 32 or 36 hole?
Marius Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I have brand new 266mm and 264mm revolution spokes, bought the wrong lenghts if they'd work on your build.
splat Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 16mm nipples are recomended apparently. I am getting a pair built onto XT centrelock hubs for Sani.You building these yourself? splat2009-01-28 06:54:31
splat Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 32 hole Pro 2 Hubs with DT Rev 2.0/1.5 3 cross spokes with DT brass 2.0x16mm nipples: 258 - 260mm spokes required splat2009-01-28 23:40:58
Guest Big H Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Exactly what I posted....... cant you read???????
Johan Bornman Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Sorry, I saw this late. I didn't go through the entire thread so I may duplicate what others have said. Some rules to remember. 1) It is preferrable to build a MTB wheel 3X2) Always round the absolute values given by any spoke calculator down by approximately 2mm. Use this 2mm to help you even out the spoke lengths and buy as few different lengths as possible.3) Never compensate for short spokes with long nipples.4) Revolution spokes stretch at least 2,5mm during tensioning and other spokes about 2mm. You should thus round down (use shorter spokes) by that amount.5) When the wheel is finished, you don't want the spokes to poke right through the nipples. You should still be able to use the screw head in the nipple. OK, by my calculations, the Front wheel spoke lengths (absoloute lengths) are L 259,2 and R 258,1 If we round this down, we can use 257mm both sides. On the rear wheel it comes to L 258,4 and 257,6 If we round down cleverly, we also get to 257mm both sides. In other words, buy exactly one box of Revolutions of 257mm. This was calculated using a 32-spoke rim as stated and lacing 3X. I've assumed the hubs are the disk version. (funny how the Americans here on the The Hub never call them Rotor Hubs). Good luck with the Revo build. It is not easy. Johan Bornman2009-01-28 11:36:56
