Polo Wheels (Tyres, Spokes & Rims)

what rim hasn't

Halo freedom disc.

Less pies... ;)

Pies are great, eat more of them.

Less pie, fewer pies.

Discrete variables, innit?

Pedantic innit? ;)

Less pie eating?

MOAR PiES!!!

I'm rebuilding my wheels, can anyone confirm these spoke lengths for me? @citygent?

Hope Pro 2 Evo/Mavic XM719/26"/36h/3 cross

Rear: 258
Front: 257/259

Thx, J

If these measurements are correct, and those are the correct hubs

Assuming you can get only even lengths, I'd get 3/4 258 and 1/4 256

Not the best picture, but this is a wheel I recently laced.

Hubs are Formula rebrands.
Rear one looks like this http://i00.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/391/673/874/874673391_727.jpg except for the solid axle with nuts. The front one is the front version of it.

I'm using 256/258 on the rear, with standard length nipples.

I have a silver 256 if you want it, bought in emergency turned out I had one in black.

Really? No dish on the rear wheel, only the front needs dishing... I'm guessing you made a little internet boo-boo...

eh? Oh, got those the wrong way round, yeah the odd spokes are on the front :)

Thanks, @citygent and @John_H... Spokes ordered!

Tonight I bid farewell to my front wheel, it has served me well for many years, quite possibly longer than any others on the planet. Have a good last run out then rest in peace old friend. You will be survived by your brother and son, rear wheel and front hub respectively.

Hey, I read that in the morning and still in my head! Why would only the front need dishing? (Is it because of the disc breaks? Because surely if the hub is symmetrical there is no need for different sized spokes)

Correct, front is a disc hub which is asymmetrical. Although the rear is also a disc hub, the centre to to flanges of the Pro 2 trials are the same.

Thanks Beagle :) now it makes sense

Is there anything stronger than sapim strong?! Just discovered three broken at the shoulder!

Maybe I should stop practicing hopping? :-/

Or put some more tension in/maintain tension... Which wheel is this?

I had to retension my front wheel today, it's the braking forces (I don't hop) that tend to do it.

Yeah, sounds like normal wear and tear with the tension a bit low, Alpine III have thicker elbows but if you are already on strongs then I think they are the same at the elbow.
