...that when I noted down the ERD of my new rim, I transposed 2 of the numbers. Guess that's why the spokes don't fit eh. No of course they don't fit for 2-cross either, that'd be crazy.
Stealth ad: For sale, 32 259mm Sapim Lasers. Highly collectable; previously owned by the famous Northwind, wheel div.
What rim ERD would those work with?
Nearly as bad as forgetting that the hub you are rebuilding on was 36h not 32... oh how I laughed
(edit should really report the not so stealth ad in the main forum 😉 )
D'oh! Being utterly confused with the black art of wheel building I'm relatively smug in the knowledge that I'm never likely to do this! 😀
Not a totally oddball size, coild fit somebodies 26" wheel build.
Pffft
31 spoked wheel with inaccessible valve anyone?
What rim ERD would those work with?
Depends on what hubs you're using 😉
I *believe* they'd be 1mm too long for Hope Pro2s on Stans Arch or Crest 26er. But I could be wrong. I remember being able to use 258s for them all round.
Someone will need to do the math on Spoke Calc.
Pretty close to my last 26" wheel build which was 260 spokes. A Hope Pro 2 on a 534 ERD rim, 32 3x would be around 259m
Yeah, 26er Hopes on E13 or Stan's are there or thereabouts.
Hub with the world's largest flange? That's 30ish mm too short for a wagon wheel... this your first home build NW?
My front wheel is 258mm, I'd have had a few of those off you but I just bought some spares. And that's a snowflake pattern.
What length do you need?
*looks at pack of wrong length spokes*
Let's be honest, this isn't the [i]most[/i] crazy thing you could have done, is it?

^WTAF!^ 😯
Pics or it didn't... oh. ****.
frood - Memberthis your first home build NW?
Nah, but the first that isn't a 26er so the sizes just felt kind of sensible. What's really annoying is I measured the ERDs, ran it in multiple calculators, all that good stuff- I just can't write 😆
Keep meaning to ask... how did ^that^ handle?
BB was a bit high
And for some reason it would only go backwards freehub must have been backwards
I transposed 2 of the numbers
Glad you don't work in a bank
Some of you guys are a bit stalky, you know that?
(I don't work for a bank any more! Nobody minds if you transpose 2 students)
Stalky or do you put it all out there...
Well I do but you're not supposed to remember!
He bought a plastic on-one, we all make mistakes. There's no need to go on about it.
Wait until he realises all the water has fallen out his watering can.
The other one should still have some in it.
Looks like the stereo might be out of action though.
Ho ho.
This was my last maths//measuring/reading a ruler mishap.

Awful truth is halfway down, with the pictures.
oik1: it's not a black art, it's very a straightforward set of steps. If you read a good guide and follow the steps, you'll be successful.
Trouble is, we're all pretty good/bad at "getting the gist" from a quick skim and wading in. That approach doesn't really work with wheelbuilding, and there are probably a good 50-odd ways to get it wrong if you're not concentrating.
nedrapier - MemberHo ho.

It's the two of us against the tyranny of arithmetic
Well I do but you're not supposed to remember!
Once that on one fork mishap has been seen, it can never be unseen!
Take 2 went swimmingly btw.
Anyone else forgotten to shake the loose nipples out of a rim before taping & fitting tubeless 🙁
Well I do but you're not supposed to remember!
I got a lot less posty on STW when I realised that fold do remember everything - some fully, some not-so-funny, and some downright stalkerish*
Take 2 went swimmingly btw.
If this is the only time you've failed to measure twice, cut once then it's been cheap lesson. Mine involved a steerer tube.
*an episode a looong while back involving an ex....
Jon Taylor - MemberIf this is the only time you've failed to measure twice, cut once then it's been cheap lesson
No, no it is not. But I did measure twice!
And yet Northwind is still my first stop when something bike related goes beyond my own limited mechanical skills.
Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool that follows him?
Well, at lest your kid's not a racist
...how to write clickbait?
...You Won't Believe What Happened Next!
I Bought Some More Spokes!
You Do Believe It? Oh. Never mind.
