Hey,

Yo, I can knock these together for you. You haz parts already?

I could help in Kew

Dishing tool and tensiometer would be used

"DJ - I can haz tension"

[is this funny? If not, sory for wasting your time]

I do have the hubs and rims already, hubs = Miche Primato, rims = some nice french Wolber Profil TX, anyone of you have a clue about their ERD? As I would like to go and buy spokes.

Or does one of you already have a good selection of spokes so I don't need to go and buy them?

How many spokes do you need?

64 or 72?

Can I put my oar in too? In Earls Court. No haz tensionmeter, haz ears.

oh, forgot to say:

28h rims and hubs, so it's 56

ERD on the Wolber TX is 602, no eyelets though so maybe get a more experienced builder to knock 'em up for you...

ok, who of you feels experienced enough for this challenge?

Me. What's your timeframe. No haz spokes.

I'm not offering my services. Just giving you some advice.

What pattern are you thinking of?

This will determine your spoke length. A good builder will be able to consult with you on what would be best.

Just the standard stuff (two cross), maybe radial at front

Ok so 3 cross at the rear and a radial front?

You want 2 cross at the rear on non-eyeleted rims? How much do you weigh?

75 kgs ... too much?

Not really but I'd avoid 2 cross if running 28 holes and had limited truing abilities.

What do your 3 volunteering builders (Cheesecake Intl, Dancing James and 36x18) suggest, just out if interest?

3 cross. Both ends.

What is that?

What is that?

3 cross crows foot?

I'd like to have a bit more classic/standard look?

3 cross. Both ends.

3 cross seems to be the most common build and is what i would feel most comfortable doing

Thanks everyone for offering your help, I decided to go with 36x18 as he is very close to where I live.

And yes, normal 3 cross will be the way to go. Was just confused by the crow lacing image.

Watch out that he does not build your wheel with wooden spokes and rim and a solid rubber tyre!

Met him last week, he's a proper bike geek so should do a good job
