Matching pairs as in aesthetically similar...

So you'd suggest a Novatec disc front hub on the rear and road front hub on the front?

So you'd suggest a Novatec disc front hub on the rear and road front hub on the front?

The D566SBT is classified as a rear hub, the aesthetically matched front is A165SBT. I would accept, rather than suggest, the combination :) My suggestion is to customise a 15mm front hub for use on the rear, and a front hub optimised for duty not looks.

Yes that's correct.

Andel do threaded fixed cogs up to 22t. So you can use a miche Primato hub, or novae fixed hubs, surly or zenith. 6 bolt hubs just adds stuff to do. Fine if you want extra stuff to do.

I like large flange hubs more.

What's my option for a cheap cheap 32h 11spd rear disc hub? There's the RS505 but seems to be out of stock in most places and I've already got a 6 bolt front.

I've got about 3cm of remaining butted length beneath the existing threads.

I could have one here on monday from madison so maybe ask a shop. novatec D792 is a bit more expensive but a decent hub.

you can shorter by a few mm then.

I'm looking a reccomendation for a regular j bend spoke, centerlock rear hub, 12x142 TA, 28 holen with sealed bearings. all standard stuff so far but I want a hub that can take either a steel freehub or a freehub with an ABG and preferably doesnt cost a fortune.
Thanks

I'm building a triplet-laced rear wheel, and I'm having difficulty calculating the correct spoke lengths. The hub is a Tune Mag150 (55.5mm PCD DS, 17mm flange offset DS) with 16 holes on the DS, and the rim is an AForce Al33 with an ERD of 576mm, which I've checked. I calculated the DS spoke lengths by treating it as a 32h 2x wheel, which gave a figure of 267.4mm which I rounded down to 266mm. However, 266mm spokes are definitely too short.

I assume that this is because although there are 16 holes on the DS hub flange, there aren't 32 holes on the rim but only 24. However, I can't find any way so far to calculate what the spoke lengths should be in that situation. Or rather, I've found lots of conflicting ways of doing it using various decimal crossing values but none of them are consistent and the reasoning behind them is either scant or non-existent.

Any tips on calculating the proper spoke lengths on a 16:8 triplet wheel? It also occurs to me that it might be better, given that the DS is effectively one half of a 32h wheel, to use 3x rather than 2x on the DS.

if you use x2.8333 @ 32 spokes in a calculator, it should work.

dt swiss calculator does fractions

see illustration

"for 24 spokes 2:1 (16 ds (3x); 8 nds (0x))" I think

use 3x rather than 2x

... And radial on NDS? If so, this will work.

Radial NDS spokes should enter rim between crossing DS pairs, no?

There are more than one way to do it , i think

lukas version:
x3.166666 @ 32 spokes

the edd calculator also does cross fractions

Anything to consider other than a Bitex BX106R for centrelock, 32h, 11 speed, 142x12?
Anything from Novatec?

DT350

or SHIMANO FH-RS770 Disc rear hub

... And radial on NDS? If so, this will work.

Yes. The NDS on the Mag150 hubs has to be radial, so that's an easy choice to make.

Yeah I would but nearly double the price and straight pull

isnt the al33 rim drilled with zigzag offset left and right for 12 spokes each side, or do you have a special triplet drilled rim?
