Spoke spacing on 32 / 36 spoke rims

Hello, bit of an odd one this.

I'm creating a product and need to know if the spoke spacing is universal.

I'm doing my prototype on some Alex rims which are 32 spoke and half tangent spoke structure.

Would all 32 spoke, half tangent wheels have the same spoke spacing?

Yes if you're always measuring at the same radius from the centre of the hub - trouble is rims have different effective rim diameters (ERD). So the linear distance between spokes where they meet the rim can vary depending on how far they are from the centre.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
