Made a spoke calc error and when I collect them will have 3 lots of 12 cx rays that I don't need 😔 anyone interested in taking them off my hands? Lengths are 262, 264 and 265.

No good point, realised that later. They are all elbowed black.

Which track hub?

Kinlin XR31 TS 24x31mm disc rim

Dt swiss A510 24x30mm disc rim (internal nipples)I like dt swiss 350 hubs (the branding used to be a sticker that could be removed, not quite sure about newest versions), solid, very low maintenance.
Change the rackets from 36t to 18t for a nice low noise hub.Edit: There is a 35mm deep aluminium rim under different names that I have not tried myself (expensive...)

Is 175mm long enough?

I like the Cyclus ones, round plastic things with a metal insert.
Sold under various brand names.
Like this: [https://www.ebay.ca/itm/266228846932 -
Cyclus
Or Spokey, as they are known to those of old enough to have the original🙂

I had one but gave it away in a fit of unwarranted generosity.
The Cyclus ones haven’t seemed to perform any worse. -
Don't you hate those monster links? Who knows what sort of crap is embedded in that, telling anyone your business.
Pro tip: you can usually just delete everything from the first ampersand in it

Oops, even the first ?

Thanks, people keep showing me how to shorten them…

Drainage, as they like to fill with water when you ride in heavy rain.

Anyone seen any bargains for 650b rims (32h disc) around? Have a spare set of 700c wheels for my commuter & toying with the idea of rebuilding as 650b's to squeeze in bigger tyres (have loads of width, but not height due to guards...)
Also - having a nightmare getting the hub cones on my 2017 Genesis Flyer perfectly adjusted, there's always either very slight play detectable at the rim or it's overtightened, the hubs (Joytech A165DSE/A166DSE) are possibly not built to the same tolerances as a DA 7600, but they look nice enough & i'd happily replace the cones / bearings with something not made from cheese to improve them a bit - anyone any ideas?

anyone any ideas?
Bite the bullet and replace the hubs with the cartridge bearing version, Novatec A165SB/A166SB

Yeah, that was on my mind - the rims are nothing special so if there's no obvious improvement to be gained from upgrading consumable parts i'll run them into the ground then build a new pair with something like that at the centre - also spotted these low flange numbers on aliexpress for £30, quite decent deviews too

I want to build a wheelset using deep section alloy rims. Partly for strength/longevity (though I’m not particularly heavy), partly because I want to minimise my use of carbon, and rather vainly I like the aesthetic. I’m not a weight weenie so that’s not an issue. I’ve seen DT Swiss RR521 which seem to fit the bill, any other recommendations?
Also overwhelmed at the choices of hubs out there, looking for a good quality thru axle disc hub, at the ‘VW Golf’ end of the spectrum - good quality but not flash, ideally with no / subtle branding.
Thanks :)
