Re: Spoke Tension of Rear Wheel
Quote:
I've toyed with the idea of lacing a 32H hub to a 24H rim using only every 2nd spoke hole on the NDS and every hole on the DS. Assuming I'd be able to find a 32H rim where all the spoke holes are drilled dead center and a hub geometry that'd give around 50% spoke tension for a traditional lace that'd be spot on. There's a guy on another forum who's been looking high and low for a 27H rim in order to be able to do the same thing using a 36H hub. Following the same general theory it should be possible to build something nice with a 48H hub and a 36H rim as well. Anyone selling rim blanks? |

Go with a 0 cross non drive side so the spokes dont go slack, come loose, and break. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html#half-radial |
