Re: SS 14g 36er Spokes breaking

The spokes need to be long enough to thread up through the body of the nipple (the thin part) and up into the head (thick part) or else the nipples will fail at the junction between the head and body. Pull the tire and rim tape and look at a few. Ideally, the spokes should come up through the nipple and stop flush with the bottom of the screwdriver slot in the head of the nipple. A millimeter or so either way of that shouldn't be a problem.

Re: SS 14g 36er Spokes breaking
Make sure they use brass washers on the elbow end. I had a coker wheel build without them, and broke a lot of spokes. corbin -- corbin http://www.corbinstreehouse.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ corbin's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7561 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70758 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
