Wheelbuilding / Wheel Building / Wheel build help

Anyone know if the advertised erds for TB14s is similarly vague/changed? I just bought a pair, already bought spokes. Hopefully my round-downs for lengths won't have been significant enough to cause me a problem if the erd's grown.

Haven't built any in a few months... 610-612 on top of my head... does it match?

~~Can't remember, I'll check when I get home from work.

Used the EDD calc that references the spokecalc database i think.~~

Yep 610.

Actually I'm sure it'll be fine, I've got plenty of closely similar length spokes, bought rather a lot of boxes from 288 - 296
lately.

I want to build some new wheels for my fixed bike at somepoint,

weight isnt really an issue, is there anything black/ano thats wider than archetypes? Its running a front brake (caliper), and i want to run the 33c tyres i currently have on the talbot

they fit in the fork on archetypes with loads of room width ways, but the tyre sits too high against the brake calliper when inflated, would a wider rim solve this?

(its only just touching the calliper)

maybe a spacer between the calliper and fork?

A narrow rim will help you out (bulb shape of a tire makes it taller when on a wider rim). But you'll probably wont enjoy the sound of 1mm clearance in wet conditions.

Maybe a spacer in the fork dropouts (2mm bearing ball).

A narrow rim will help you out (bulb shape of a tire makes it taller when on a wider rim).

Wrong way around, the tyre height is lower on wide rims.

Maybe a spacer in the fork dropouts (2mm bearing ball).

Full of bad advice today, aren't you?

I'll get my coat. (Ps. feel free to put a few words on why the bearing ball doesn't work).

Front wheel retention is safety critical. Deliberately compromising it seems like a bad idea.

ball bearing isnt my thing, thatd make me nervous.

lol, no one even argues any more

Arguing on the internet is so 2005.

Fuck off, it's 2007.

A23s are the same width, marginally lighter and allegedly hold the tyre better (Scoble had a magazine scan somewhere about it, related to the SL23s I think...)

DTSwiss TK540 are black, have braking surface and are 23.6mm wide...

Velocity do a bunch of wider rims - NoBS, Atlas, Dyad at 25.4, Cliffhanger at 28. They aren't the lightest though.

Hed Ardennes+?

I can never get my head arounds the SR/FR/SL nomenclature, but IIRC one version is like 26mm wide

cheers andy,

over budget morgan, i was going for cheap wide heavy. fuck hed.

cheap wide heavy

Ryde Andra 40.
~€40, 31.4mm, 815g in 700C.

Rigida/Ryde Grizzly, Sputnik
Mavic A119, A319, A719

rigida sputniks in black 32h might be the ticket

Exal LX17, £18 from Spa.

I have some of those ^. Whilst they look fine and are easy to build with they're a sod to mount tyres on. Many a tyre lever has died on my rims which are less than 6 months old.

^^ not sure they're any wider than an Archetype.

LX17 are 22mm outer width IIRC
