Guess who tried lacing his first wheel?
Yep, me. Was a lot easier than I thought, thanks YouTube!
These 11g spokes are
HUGE!. Got some extras, so I may be putting them up for sale soon!
Even though I did a BUNCH of research, the spokes are WAY too long! DANG! :x
To try fix it, I ordered a new sealed bearing unit from eBay with a lot smaller flange hopefully the spokes will fit now. Not nearly as cool as the vintage ACS, but should run a lot smoother, so....
My next hurdle will be figuring out what to do with the rear, the Nexus 7 hub is even bigger, maybe (since I'm an expert now :lol: :lol
I'll try a 4 cross pattern to use up the extra length or I'll have even MORE extras to sell.. :mrgreen:
Just bit the 'money bullet' and purchased the Electra Gigi seat and matching grips.. :roll:
Also, found a guy who will blast the frame for $25 :!:
Got the fenders and rack into filler primer, will try to get a coat of white color primer on over the weekend, who knows maybe some color coats too... :wink:
