wheel reality
I am building a track wheel set the parts that are fixed and I have
already bought are Velocity deep V rims. What lacing pattern do you think would look best? I have done 1x 2x and 3x in the past what do you think I should do for front and rear? Radial looks best, but not a good idea on some bents. I will post an ad when I am done with them. |

No one in this world gives a good god damn about how you lace your ****ing wheels. Just what kind of idiot are you anyway?

Pay no heed to the blustering buffoon. He complains of a lack of content, but contributes nothing worthwhile ... complains that ARBR is a chat room and does nothing but generate chat ... complains about recumbent content in a newsgroup specifically intended for that very purpose ... cannot decide if ARBR is dead or is salvageable ... if he should leave or remain ... the conundrum continues, but enough about nothingness. Lets talk about your wheel design issues shall we? Don't make the mistake of placing form (appearance ) before function. It is far more important that the wheel performs well than simply looks good, not that the two are mutually exclusive objective, mind you. You didn't stipulate the size of the wheels ... an important deciding factor when considering lacing patterns (number of crossings). What are the wheel sizes. How do you determine the proper spoke length? Jim McNamara |

I will post an ad when I am done with them. 2-cross looks odd compared to 3-cross, but is better on smaller (ISO 451-mm to ISO 305-mm [1]) diameter wheels, since the angle of the spokes entering the rim is less, particularly if a hub with large diameter flanges is used. Radical, er radial spoke lacing is generally a poor idea, and may cause failure of the hub flange [2], unless the hubs are designed for radial spoke lacing. [1] ISO 203-mm wheels leave little choice but radial spoke lacing, if one is to have room to access the valve stem, and even then a small pump head may be required. [2] Radial spoke lacing may also void the warranty on the hub, depending on the manufacturer. -- Tom Sherman - Clueless Newbie The weather is here, wish you were beautiful |
