It's the back wheel next:
I've found some old school 451 BMX rims which are silver and only ~£20 but they're 36 spoke. I have a 32 spoke Open Pro on System Ex flip/flop and after digging around eBay for a cheap 36 spoke track hub I decided the cheaper option is to use my hub and find a 32 hole rim. I got a great deal on a Halo EX3, unfortunately the shop only had one so it looks like I'll probably go for the £20 rim on the front and embrace odd rims, I've got an old 36 spoke front hub in the cupboard.
At this point I have to fess up to being really stupid.
I know that you can't take the spoke out with the cog still on and that you can't get the cog off a hub once it's no longer in a wheel but i convinced myself that they would all clear. So now I need to rebuild my wheel to take the cog off. Then I can get the hub and rim measured up and order spokes.
