Hi, I'm wanting to build some wheels; hope pro 2 evo's w/ ryde trace enduro rims.
I've had a cost from a shop with a brilliant rep for building wheels and in my head it's the way to go, but paying full RRP for the hubs and the build costs is a bit over my budget. If that's my only option then I'd just save some money and get some pre built hoops although I'd really like to try some properly wide rims.
I have a jig and the tools and a copy of the wheel pro book and I built a set before. The trouble is I got some duff info and laced it up with the wrong size spokes and had to get the LBS (who gave me the duff info..) to redo it in the end.
The ryders don't seem to be an option in any of the online calculators, and I know they have an offset spoke bed (although the numbers don't seem to be available) so it's not as simple as I would hope.
Anyone built these before? Any tips and help would be greatly appreciated. 650b by the way.
Wrong forum, sorry!
Mods, could you move this for me please?
If you buy the rims before anything else, you can measure the ERD yourself using the method and home made tool Musson outlines in the book. I found on a recent build the quoted ERD was a bit out.
The wheelpro calculator has a field for rim offset:

If emailing Ryde gets no response, method of measuring it here:

If you have the WheelPro book then you'll know how to measure the ERD plus there's an online calculator [url= http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/spokecalc/ ] here[/url] which has a field where you can enter the offset.
Should be all you need?
Edit -beaten to it by nach....
Thanks guys. The trouble is I don't know the offset!
I'll email rude. Was hoping someone had built some and could give me a pointer as I'd like to get the rims ordered and doubt id get an answer from ryde before the new year.
A Ruler will give you accurate enough measurements.
I can run through it for you if you want.
Buy a digital vernier for a £10 - £20 and you'll wonder how you ever did without one 🙂
