OK, so its not a new topic; but I'm going round in circles.
Having chopped the hub out of a rear CB360 wheel; I order a set of new polished stainless spokes and nipples from a supplier in the UK. (I am in the UK). Thier website boast MILLIONS of spokes made each week, with the specs for most bikes.
Great I thought - as I no longer have spokes for my wheel; other than the 72 assorted pieces now littering my workshop floor.
I call them up, place my order and pay the dues. Have been lounging around for a few days now waiting for my shiny new bits to come in the post.
Phone ring. "Can you send us some spokes...we dont have the specs for your bike". "No" says me, "I just have the rim and hub. I thought you had all the specs".
"We cant proceed without the measurements."
Grrr. You can guess what I am about to ask:
Does anyone have the exact specs for the different lots of spokes in the rear wheel? I can find part numbers and lengths on the internet )158.5, 159 etc) but they dont include which angles are on which.
Just for kicks; here comes the second problem.
I bought 2 new and identical rims to upgrade the front and rear to 2.15's. Yes, thats right...two identical rims.
Having read through the forum a bit; I now realise I may be in for a bit of trouble on the front.
Can anyone help with specific angles and lengths? Perhaps you have a set yet to be fitted you could measure.
Thanks.
