Does anyone have actual measurements of a Dura Ace 7700 freehub?

Now the hub body dimensions, on the other hand.... Before you look and sound stupid, think about what you say/write.... D'ohBoy |

Thanks, Thomas Hood I'm not clear on which spoke length spreadsheet you are trying to use, but this one has worked perfectly for me for every wheel I have built. I also usually use @ least 1 other method as a double check, before I order spokes, since there is no return of spokes. http://sheldonbrown.com/rinard/spocalc.htm Hope this helps, John |

I measured 34.4 mm for the distance from the center of the left flange to the center of the hub, and 19.7 mm for the right flange dimension. I also measured 44.0 mm for the diameter of the spoke hole pattern (same as spocalc). Even if you use the spocalc listed values for the 7700, you won't be far off in the spoke length calculation (0.1 or 0.2 mm) because spoke hole pattern diameter is correct. The 7700 front hub dimensions are also different from the "Shimano Dura-Ace low flange" values listed in spocalc. I measured 71 mm for the flange spacing vs. the 74 mm listed in the spocalc. Andrew |

'Freehub' is the term Shimano themselves use to describe it (http://tinyurl.com/2ogjmf). Jargon it might be, but 'freehub' was entirely unambiguous in that context. The spreadsheet calculation functions are useful, the data is not. I've only measured three hubs: an STX hub, an Ultegra 6500 and an XTR M965 with flange spacings all ~54mm respectively which are listed as 60.6, 56, and 58.4 respectively. Before you look and sound stupid, think about what you say/write.... D'ohBoy Indeed. Tom Huh. Nothing I said was incorrect. Nor stupid. Yah, know, if you do the math, the MAXIMUM difference in spoke length due to those differences (assuming you used good measurement technique and a good set of calipers) on a given erd rim would be (drumroll PLEASE!) 0.2 MM! HOLY ****E MAN, HOLD THE PHONE!!!!!!!!! TWO TENTHS OF A FUGGIN MILLIMETER!!!!!!!!!! Indeed. Good luck with your wheels. And try not to sweat the small stuff. D'ohBoy |

are the dimensions for the 7700 different from any other shimano hub
or other shimano hubs in that price or performance range? The common hubs are of the same dimensions last I checked. Shimano changes the hub insides and materials but not the outsides: similar dimesion molds are used to pour metal. the LBS spoke calc works but it doesn't lead you with instructions. That is, there's a 'path' to the right answer but the software does not instruct on how to get there! Of course that's none geek. A geek would read the screen and come up with the right answer. If the clicks click the switchs. The calculator Harris uses has the same problem. best solution is bracketing the best spoke length guess with spokes 3-5mm longer shorter-8 each- and building a 2x4 dishing beam with hole for hub axle. finagle that to choice during not conceptually. block up the rim diameter on the tubah to spec the wheel's dish then install 8 spokes in four quadrents to see what happening at that length. seperate and ID the spoke lengths. wal sells metal rulers. use a bright light. place a cabinet door magnet on the ruler for a stop. |
