Sorry,did the title say "Easily Calculate"?
It sure did...I may need to watch a dozen more times. Or so.
Then there is the hub measurements, oops, forgot them!
I been building bikes since i was a kid and ill be explaining this way shorter in a vid in a couple days. This is the correct way in detail but i understand people just wanna get the job done now.
Well done. Thanks.
Good info
What size sapim d light spoke do you recommend for a dt 350 hub and AR56 carbon wheel?
IDEAL
This is a start, but it would be more helpful if it included info about how to compensate for the hub size and spoke angle.
This is a good example of how a large consulting company works to solve a business problem in a company. Only difference is that this guy is not charging anything for watching the video, thankfully.
I was doubting my ERD measurement until I found some 292 mm spokes. With the J bends interlaced and the spokes at the slots of the nipples the fit was perfect! Published is ERD of 582 to 583. There could be some variation between lots. I've seen Continentals fit slack on a rim bead as well, and these are tighter than some. Good news is that my 290mm spokes should fit only 1-2 mm long. A couple of washers should erase some of that. Perhaps the Sapim Polyaxis nipples even more so when I get them. Doing cross 4 because I'm a heavy rider on a fixie 36. spokes.
Hi, I want to use dt swiss r500 rim with dt swiss 350 hubs (12x142, 15x100), and after dt swiss calculations I should use 290mm, 291mm for the front wheel and 289mm, 290 mm for the rear, can I use 291 mm for all of them?
And one more question, If I'm using the hubs with a center lock and adding 6 bolts adapter to them, should I use in calculator DBCL(center lock) or DBIS(6 bolts) hubs?
MB someone in chat can help me, its my first wheel build :)
My front wheel should have a left spoke length of 284.5mm, I ordered 284 should I have gotten 285?. Spokes on the right should be 285.5, do I get 284 or 286?
My rears left should be 284.5 I ordered 284mm Should I have gone 285? And the right should be 282.9 do I get 282 or 283?
Thanks
Spokes are no joke 🚲✨
So how do you calculate it??
Hi there. I know this an old video. But I want to ask something. Maybe it's a dumb question, Although I think I know the answer.
Her it comes
I'm going to build from 2 tubular carbon wheelset (50mm)to 2 clincher wheelset.(700c) I'm gonna use the same hubs. The frames I'm going to buy are exactly the ones from Light Bicycles. But I want to build a 38mm front and a 50mm rear.
Will the spokes for the front be short or can I use them ?
I believe maybe they will fit or not.. ?
Thanks in advance
Hi Aldrin, our customer service team would like you to reach out. Please email your question to support@lightbicycle.com
nah this is still way too confusing, imma just see if anyone local is selling a whole built wheel
What about hub size?
Good Video
Question
i am building 28 hole rear hub for 29er mtb
should i go with 2 Cross or 2 Cross for 28 hole rear hub build ?
Novatech hub with Sun Ringle Duroc 35 Rim - 29er
IMO. The less spokes the more cross patterns, in order to make it stronger. Go at least three crosses.
@@Surfmus Thanks for REPLY
JUST BUILT IT !!!!
3 CROSS with 28 Spokes REAR , Bought the Front Wheel with 32 , Got the Matching RIM Laced to Novatech 28 hole Hub & 28 Hole Rim with Alloy Nipples : THANKS
@@jonienglish3231 I'm currently lacing a set of Koozer 490 to Carbon Rims (27.5) it's being a while since I haven't done one and same method apply as riding a bike, "you'll never forget." I laced my first wheel at the age of 11. Done a few by hundreds, worked and sold over a 1,000 bikes in my lifetime.
I can't wait to finish the build and have fun in the trails. A must needed hobby to avoid insanity. Ha!
@@Surfmus Thanks for Reply Surfmus - This will be my 8th Wheel Build
Picked up a Front Wheel 32 Spoke with Duroc 35 and just Finished the 28 Hole Build 3 Cross with Aloy Nipples , was Easier with 28 Holes , Still have to Assemblt the China Clone 29er Frame with Rigid Niner Fork .Absolutely Correct about Hobbies and Projects
@@jonienglish3231 Now do a 48 hole on a 20" rims. Those are fun, lol.
So, use on online spoke calculator. Thanks😳
1:14 "bottom barrel underneath the thread" - what does it mean?
It means that on the D-Light spokes the width of the spoke narrows in the middle which means it can't be easily cut, a spoke like the Sapim Race is the same width (thickness) all the way along after the threads which means it can more easily be cut/rethreaded. However, it is better to order the right lengths of spokes than to cut them to size.
I thought it was Johnny Depp holding a bicycle rim
What happens if you thread your spoke past the widest part of sapiim sqare nipple .. flush with the top of the sqaure nipple ..... will this have problems?
We don't recommend going past the end of the double square nipple. That being said you shouldn't run into any problems, only if it's a single-wall rim.
No problems
Any spoke size will fit a 20mm rim
This s*** seems so complicated! Trying to lace my first Fat Tire electric Hub motor. I could be way off but im thinking a2+b2=c2 is all you need. We'll see how it goes.
Turn up the sound
Is he a Robot or its me?!🙄
Just you bro
its quite easy to calculate but why not cut the thread longer and cut off the surplus, its not a motorcycle wheel
Hi Trevor, not every type of spoke can be cut. That being said, when you can cut a spoke, it makes more sense to measure and cut first. The end result will be tidier and more accurate than cutting off the surplus.
Easily?
Doesn’t help at all
You need some coffee bro.
Cant hear.him
wow... people in the comments should not build their own wheel
🤦🏻♂️couldn’t get past 10 seconds of affected croak voice.😂
