Ok, I'm about to rebuild a pair of wheels. Not my first build by any means, but this will be the first time I've dished anything, and the first time I've not used new components with full datasheets. (40h high flange tandem rear with 5speed screw on block and a hub brake built in, being laced to a 40h Rigida Sputnik, same for front, with no hub brake or block, duh.)
The hubs aren't new, and I don't know what they are so, I need to know where I measure things from. I have my vernier at the ready. Can I get some reassurance that I'm doing this right please?
To measure the flange diameter, it's the distance between the centers of opposite spoke holes on the respective flange?
Centre2Left and Centre2Right are measured by finding the centerpoint of the hub (as in mid point between the dropouts, I assume?) and measuring centerpoint to respective flange, parallel with the axle.
Many thanks.
