Wheelbuilding / Wheel Building / Wheel build help

Oh great thanks a lot, would have gone for the longer ones. I'll wait till rhb comes back with the ERD. thx tstr

Using this method (not the video, but the text & diagram) with 4 measurements per rim I got 587 for the first rim and 586 for the second.

Could this variation be put down to low tolerances on budget rims?

Shit. Thanks for that rhb. Don't really know what to do now

More likely to be a repeatability problem with your measuring than an actual 1mm difference in true diameter, but it's close enough.

If they are 23mm deep, though, I'd expect an ERD of about 595±1mm, i.e. per Mentats table

Yes, obv my measuring not quite spot on. I'm more concerned that I'm 7-8mm different from the only published ERD....

This equates to 3mm difference in spoke choice for the build I've got planned using some old Mavic Hubs.

Hmmm.

Kinlin XR-270, for example, have an ERD of 587mm and they are 27mm deep. I think you need to measure again, also measure the rim depth and see if it matches the picture above.

Rim depth matches, spot on 23.2

8 separate measurements across 2 rims gave me the above. I'll try again in daylight hours.

Tonight I also discovered that the data for my previous wheel builds was on my old works laptop. Forgot to email a copy back over to myself before I left. Fail.

did you use these rims in a previous build?

Oh thought you might have had the erd in your old data. Might just risk it with published one. I'll wait till you measure again though. thanks again

Problem solved, I was using 16mm Nipples. Not 12. Close enough to 594 to use that now. Sorry to make you question your measurements Mentats.

Hey dont worry i didn't make any measurement just read them. glad it's all sorted now. looking forward to building them now. Hope i don't mess it up

Sheeeet. Just ordered my stuff. Really hope I didn't/don't fuck up.

new wheelset build, ss 29er. chris king hubs 32 hole, to be run tubeless

trying to decide between stans arch ex or flow ex rims, and what spokes

stans indicate that the arch ex is most appropriate, smallfurry suggests the flow ex

chris king hubs

I'm generally anti boutique-hubs. But I have to admit...

...Want.

i have 2 pairs already (road and disc)

i now want some ss disc hubs and as i also have the ridiculous service tool it makes sense to get the ss hubs from them

Locked in worse than campag. But what a nice place to be locked in.

:)

i have royce hubs on the fixie skidder and hopes on the commuto x

if king did track hubs things might be different

any suggestions re the spokes? triple butted dt swiss?

Yes, Alpine III are a no-brainer for this. King hubs are made to take 13g spokes, and filling up the holes nice and tight is always a good thing.

About to order mine. Did they build up OK based on 594 ERD?

I'm looking to build up a basic track training wheel set and was wondering if peeps had any recommendations. I've had a look but only come up with a few options - Mavic Reflex, KinLin. What else have people had experience with?
