It looks like you handled that headache situation very well, and properly built a new wheel with that nice looking new hub. I hope that your customer was happy with it.
Thank you. Yes, it's a nice looking hub but the customer should be carefull not to use it too much in wet conditions as it probably won't protect against water ingress as well as more expensive hubs do.
What a coincidence, I had just been thinking if there was such a thing as uneven spoked wheels. It's as if Google can read my mind, a scary thought but wouldn't surprise me if they could.
Any 28 spokes hub would have done the trick (if rated for radial lacing). Just need to do spokecal with 2.25 or 3.25 crossing on the right flange (left is 0 obviously). But 👎Vittoria . No spare part is not what you expect from a respectable brand.
Thank you. I'm not a 100% sure that Vittoria won't sell the hub seperately but based on my experience with other brands I would say it is very unlikely that they would. As for the use of a 28 hole hub: there is of course the aesthetic problem of not using all holes in the flange on the non drive side, but, more importantly, it's very unlikely that the 7 spokes on the non drive side will run straight as they should do.
@@treszenrv9401 Ah ok, it's easy to get the spokes on the non drive side to run straight if you start on that side but you'll get problems on the other side. You'll probably end up having to use different spoke lenghts on the drive side.

@maatwielen3396 they will. Radial is easy, crossing... It's a bit trickier. I did a lot of experiments on lacing pattern.

@@maatwielen3396 they'll be the same length but "crossing" is not an integer hence the difficulty.
