Polo Wheels (Tyres, Spokes & Rims)

Scott previoisly pringled a Stan's Crest in Sheffield, so he's probably building them too slack.

Nah, he just crashed into chan and was missing 4 spokes.

Missing 4 spokes is quite slack.

Well, it was a 32h rim and he should have bought a 36.

Nah, he's just fat.

Chan, not Scott ;)

28 or 32 gator

What people use. 3x or 4x. For a 48h wheel build?

3x both sides. Although for conventional disc wheels it's +1 on rotor side.

Crows foot

For almost conventional everything it's 3x errywhere.

Has anyone got a 26" 32H rim for sale?

That's bit too early to be drunk Rob... ;)

spokes on lower end of tension means when the spokes get hit they less likely to break. I build my wheels with the perfect balance =D

Nah, crank it up, broken spoke is better than a broken wheel, plus I reckon if the tension is lower it would bend more so could be more likely to break.

Lower tension means it'll go through more load-noload-load cycles, and your wheel will be weaker.

Evidently.

It's the nipples which tend to fail when mine get hit.

Tighter the better and also remember to lube the hole not the pole!

Lower tension means it'll go through more load-noload-load cycles, and your wheel will be weaker.

This.

Also: strong rims are better than blingy spokes and nipples.

I've got one of these that I haven't used. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=181476491809 they're basically xc717 before they were rebadged.

I've got a pair of 26" gatorskins in good condition. 30quid including postage. 25 if you wanna come all the way to Glasgow to collect them.

Does @TS still want some?

How do I get my account back?
