SS 14g 36er Spokes breaking

Rob Or it could be too short a spoke length. The spokes need to be long enough to thread up through the body of the nipple (the thin part) and up into the head (thick part) or else the nipples will fail at the junction between the head and body. Pull the tire and rim tape and look at a few. Ideally, the spokes should come up through the nipple and stop flush with the bottom of the screwdriver slot in the head of the nipple. A millimeter or so either way of that shouldn't be a problem.

SS 14g 36er Spokes breaking
Well, I just noticed today that I had been riding around on my fairly new N36 with a broken spoke for quite a while. It broke right at the hub too. So I just tried to find some replacement spokes online, but no luck so far. I figured they would have to be 371mm long for my super wide hub, or 361mm if I were going to do a new Wheelbuild with a Schlumpf hub. Does anybody know where to find these? I'm in the Netherlands by the way. Any help would be much apreciated! ---------------- Now playing: 'Boards Of Canada - '84 Pontiac Dream' (http://tinyurl.com/66w556) via 'FoxyTunes' (http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/) -- munirocks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ munirocks's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16564 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70758 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Make sure they use brass washers on the elbow end. I had a coker wheel build without them, and broke a lot of spokes. corbin -- corbin http://www.corbinstreehouse.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ corbin's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7561 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70758 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
