Title: clutch flange diameters?
Post by: alaskun on November 20, 2015, 12:06:55 PM
I've got a chance to get to a shop today to get some spokes/a rim, but I don't know what rims they have, and I don't have the hub with me, so I figure I should just need the width/diameter?

thanks

Are they basically the same size as a ratchet?  http://www.odysseybmx.com/dailyword/archivesV2/1985/01/spoke-chart-2010.pdf

182 3x for just about any non aero rim. 2 extra turns on the drive side. Most of the time. Your mileage may vary and all that shit.

Not sure since I don't have a truing stand
I may have to mess with it over the holidays

Edit: but just remembered I should be running by empire next week so I'll have them check it out!
