Bought some 26" DT 420SL (Specialized OEM) rims 2 years ago planning to build some light MTB wheels for a friend I'd recently built an MTB for which didn't get ridden as much as expected. Change of plan, decided to use them to build polo wheels.
Got a nice Hadley SS-freehub 32h 135mm hub last week.
Calculated spoke lengths and they matched the lengths I have on the shelf for my own wheels. Started lacing up one side only to realise the rims I thought were 32h are actually 28h. Same seller still lists 420SL on eBay, but not all the listings specify spoke count. Too late now anyway.
So now I need to find different light-ish 26" 32h rims that aren't £50 each, and I need to find some 28h disc hubs to make some use of the DT rims.
Gah.
