Title: quick spoke length lacing question (gsport hubs)
Post by: dude... on February 09, 2015, 08:22:12 PM

ratchet to hazard lite, 36h. i should be lacing this 3x is that right? spoke calculators say 184mm spokes for this build but im sure the ones i took out of an identical wheel i dismantled were 186s

also marmy to haz lite, thats a 186 job yes?

Yes 36h 3x lacing would be preferable. You can theoretically get away with 2mm's up or down from the calculated spoke length tho. I would trust the spoke calculators as that seems about right. So does the 186 for the front marmoset as well.

If you have a bunch of shorter spokes you can get away with lacing your wheels 2x like I just did on my newest gsport wheel...
