Are there any common hub widths wider than 135mm? And what is the
outside diameter of a 29" wheel rim?


'29' is the new term for 700Cxfat tire. Rim OD about 634mm
but significantly larger with a 700x54 tire on it!

You're right about the most popular formats. Classic British
steel front hubs are 95mm, tandem rears 140mm & 160mm. There
are more now and if you want to plan for the future all bets
are off.

We own some nicely made very old fixtures for which we
bought offset and taller extenders:

Cheap too-we could not fabricate them for the asking price.

Thank you. I was certainly hoping that no one mentioned the "new 15
speed cassettes that are expected to arrive next year", or some such
thing :-)

I do most of my own fabrication and have a mate who owns a lathe and
for whom I make things and in return he makes lathe turned stuff for
me. It works well for retired folks :-)

Classis Idaho stop at about 3:30.

From the noises it makes, it sounds like an unhappy relationship between
chain and either the chainwheel or rear cog.

Another mindless clown whose first response when he hears of
something not seen before on his street corner is to sneer and jeer
instead of to learn.

Judging by the garbled responses, "DATAKOLL MARINE RESEARCH" is more
likely to be a failed undergraduate artificial intelligence project
that has been left running by mistake. Needless to say, it's in my
killfile.

Back when a computer on every desk was ralatively new, there was a crude artificial intelligence project, called Eliza. It appeared to carry on conversations by taking the respondent's input and rephrasing it into a question via a simple algorithm. Another psychologist in my department beat it by the simple expedient of not giving it any input to work with; that struck it mute.

As I wrote some time ago, I've had Jute kill filed for some time and
have yet to miss him :-)

Poor Slow Johnny. When a meteorite shoots across the sky, he sees my face in it. Nope, Slow Johnny, that was Jeff Daniels that the fellow killfiled, not me.

How did this turn from information on wheel widths to insults?

John - there is a reason that the usual commercial wheel truing stand is adjustable. Rear widths go from 110 for single speeds to 145 for the latest full suspension rear hubs. There are also special cases that are either wider or narrower.

And commercially available truing stands are so reasonably priced (unlike most bicycle tools) that it doesn't make much sense to build your own.

Back when I had a lot less money but access to a machine shop, I made my first
truing stand. It was very basic, since I didn't build very many wheels. And
some (but not all) of the adjustment for hub width was just flex in the support
arms.

BTW, one friend of mine was, for many years, one of the wheelbuilders for one
of the country's biggest mail order bike companies. He built lots and lots
of wheels, using a stand he designed and built himself. Its main structure
was of wooden 2x4s.

You won't believe it but steel is often cheaper than wood here :-)

Yes, I am aware of that. Thus my questions.

I'm retired. I have the necessary skills and equipment. The material
is cheap to buy. Why not make it myself?

I'm retired as well and money is especially tight with the monetary effects of the concussion and required anti-seizure medication but I still bought a Park Truing stand. But I had wholesale prices available to me that you might not.
