Lacing 24" 32 or 36 hole Rim to 48 hole Hub
Does anyone have some clear pics or any other help for lacing a 32 0r 36 hole 24" rim to a 48 hole Hub? -- pdc - That's my boy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pdc's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8160 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39400 |

I was thinking about doing the same thing and I found a picture of a 48 hub to a 32 hole rim by skiping every third hole between the first spoke cross and it looked good and used spokes all the same length but I was unable to find it again. I have decided to get Qa-ax 48 hole trials rim instead so I think I won't be doing this. -- Tellurider - Dan Wilson There's a fine line between "Hobby" and "Mental Illness". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tellurider's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4972 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39400 |

Where are you buying your Qu-Ax rim? -- loosejello ------------------------------------------------------------------------ loosejello's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8295 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39400 |

Right now you can get them from unicycle.com UK but I think I have talked John Drumand into to ordering some and keep them in stock at udc US. I think they would sell to people wanting to convert Torker 20" uni into trials unis, and since they have Qu-ax they should have spare parts. -- Tellurider - Dan Wilson There's a fine line between "Hobby" and "Mental Illness". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tellurider's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4972 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39400 |

I found this http://www.sun-ringle.com/ShowRoom/BMX/Rims/bfr.html But with shipping is quite expensive. -- pdc - That's my boy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pdc's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8160 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39400 |

Are all the spokes the same length? I've never built a wheel before but i wanna give it the ole college try.

Since the hub and rim are both 48-hole, the spokes are all the same length. A 48-spoke wheel isn't necessarily the best configuration to start out with because there isn't as much room to work between spokes and there is a lot more manipulation to true the wheel. However, my first wheel was a 48 spoke, so go for it! I don't have any close-up pics at this time. -- U-Turn - As long as my feet keep movin'... Weep in the dojo... laugh on the battlefield.
