SS 14g 36er Spokes breaking

Although it might be OK to always take some spare spokes along and keep replacing them until I decide to put a Schlumpf in there... I've talked to quite a few people who build really good wheels, and they feel that you really need the brass washers to get a good strong wheel build. Also, make *sure* they use a tension gauge, and that they don't just do it by "feel". -corbin PS: YES! Get a Schlumpf. But, you'll need a new frame too...(the KH36) -- 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 |

QUOTE] Does this go for the Schlumpf hub, should it be built using the brass washers? Also if so, I'm wondering if the Schlumpf flange may be too wide for std spokes with a washer? Yes; my last two wheel builds have been 36'ers + Schlumpf hub. The first didn't have the washers, and I broke a lot of spokes. The second did, and I haven't broken any. However, I had to disassemble it last night, as I need to get new bearings for my hub. You need to use the stainless steel spokes in the schlumpf hub. They fit perfectly. Note that the holes in the hub have a direction; one side has a slight detent for the butt end to sit in. I also didn't realize this the first time I built the wheel. 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 |
