Campagnolo record hubs do that. I have examples.
So... bottom line... You wouldn't have any second thoughts about
lacing 2x on a Dynohub wheel?
No problem.

It's not a religious issue or anything... just seems that if I'm
going to have 30+ spokes left over from a box of 75 it will be
more aesthetic for them to fit three of my wheels instead of one.
Also, I wonder if there is some hub-diameter-related engineering
reason why Rohloff recommends 2x.
That's a good reason for selecting a spoke pattern, so long as it
doesn't adversely affect spoke durability, which this probably
doesn't. Just keep an eye on the spoke line into spoke nipples and,
if necessary, improve that spoke line manually.

how are you going to do that without introducing residual stress?

Apparently jb does not understand this as well as he has
professed. The answer is that the final manual stress relief
will insure that the residual stress plus cyclic stress
will not bring the spoke near yield.


apparently, the great michael press, master of misaligned reality,
either doesn't bother to read countless past postings on this subject,
or he doesn't understand them if he has read them.

correspondingly, i can't be bothered to re-write it all for you, save as
to correcting the fundamental misconception that you seem to share with
jobst - fatigue happens /well/ below yield.

now, you go back to being a schmuck, and i'll go back to waiting for
jobst to figure out how his advice on one subject contradicts his advice
on another.

you're so right. but total vacuum allows misinformation and b.s. to
propagate.

Now "jim beam" is claiming that fatigue does NOT happen at stresses well
below yield. That would turn the materials engineering world on its head!

Of did "jim beam" actually intend to write that fatigue DOES occur well
below yield stress?

Per landotter:
Do it yourself. It's
easier than ya think. Once ya lace in the first spoke in the second
run on a side--usually the d'oh kicks in.

Did it. First I tried looking at an existing wheel. Spend about
2 hours thinking I'd messed up on the spoke length.

Then I turned to Google for instructions from somebody who
knew...

The "d'oh" kicked in about 2 am the next morning.



Don't forget to get your rim
label aligned with the hub label for extra points!

Label, this thing is supposed to have a label? -)


Only loose end now is tension. Some of the spokes are clearly
way more tensioned than others and I'm guessing it's just a
matter of systematically tightening/loosening without losing the
alignment or introducing hop.

gonna work on hop first or lateral first?

Per datakoll:

There wasn't any detectable hop.

I've got the lateral down to less than a millimeter and figure
it's time to quit while I'm ahead.

Checked them all with a tensiometer (sp?), and got each within
what seems like a reasonable range when compared with 2mm shorter
spokes on a couple of professionally-built Rohloff rear wheels
that've been through quite a bit of punishment with no problems.

no hop? place a credit card (Citibank is popular)across the rim edge,
clamp to the stand or support and roll it.
