  • just get red ones...;)

  • ^^^Edited my message with a link! :-)

  • Hmmmm... i like, i likey-lot, so whats that, £135 ish converted... then theres the postage... me thinks, £30? So £165-70 built up.... tempting....

  • 31t®um just get red ones...;)

    ..... it's orange... ORANGE I SAY!!!

  • yep :D

    2L/2T

    radial

    3L/1T

    3L/3T

  • by doing fancy stuff like that, does it weaken the strength of the wheel though? Looks cool btw

  • weakest of the lot is radial, can't use on rear wheel (well at least drive side). rest are fine, although the 3L/1T i should've swapped on the other side, but because front wheel i left it like that.

  • There could be some others here who want stuff ordering. Save costs on joint orders? You seen their adonised nitto stuff! Otherwise it could still be a good deal if you consider sprockets, lockring and freewheel costs.

    If you can get some hubs cheap, having them built would be the cheapest deal...

    Actually....maybe not. They're a good deal me thinks.

  • See i would have thought that was the strongest..... hmmmmm, nice white rim, looks slightly marbled, or is that just the photo?

    No i agree todd, v good deal! Will hang out for a day or so first, then get a quote from Cavendish and compare.... also see how impatient i am!

  • called finger prints + semi-bashed polo wheel + hand painted machined surface = funny appearance

  • dogsballs weakest of the lot is radial, can't use on rear wheel (well at least drive side). rest are fine, although the 3L/1T i should've swapped on the other side, but because front wheel i left it like that.

    !!! Nice.

    Any chance of building some up for me? ;-)

    I got a rear white v and a 650c black v front needing building....

  • not hard dude. u can come over next week (nth london) and can show you how!

  • hmmm...... now white.... that might be an idea... would go better with future projects too.....

  • ... and wouldn't have the piss taken with the ORANGE frame!!!!

  • dogsballs not hard dude. u can come over next week (nth london) and can show you how!

    Sounds good mate.
    Perhaps in the new year if that's cool.
    D'ya know if there's a guide (velocity) to lengths of spokes needed with certain hubs etc?

    TobyOne // white might be nice as they'll work when the bike get a respray with any colour.

  • search for spoke calc ;)
    or the following is rough for 700c with deep v high flange (ambrosio or goldtec)

    • radial 260-2mm
    • normal lacing 282 mm
    • 2 lead, 2 trail 272 mm

    open pro with high flange
    -normal lacing 292mm
    -radial 272mm

  • Cheers Dogs

  • ^ screw spokes, get one of them instead.

  • ha!

  • heh heh.... bllling!

  • ASM - Can you just sort out the rest whilst you are there? ;)

  • Gimme about half an hour....

  • ...31 minutes later... :)

    Kanye West approves!

  • if you really want to do it on the cheap, just get a rear one? the front one looks fine, two orange deep v's would look shit too
