length of spokes on 7 speed nexus to 26''

[Larry]

Easy? yes and no. Builds up in a jiffy, but it takes much longer to get it tensioned and straight. With 6 spokes woven together, tension on one spoke affects the 5 others.

Here is a Worksman 3 speed nexus I picked up the other day...stainless spokes and silver alloy wheel. It is spoked all of them laced over. Wish I had a front to match

There you go, That ought to hold you.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

I doubt if I will ever use it. If I cant find a match then it will probable be torn down and use the hub to spoke to a regular rim. That wheel you laced looks awsome. I probably wouldnt try any fancy patterns. Heck like this 7 speed today ...every once in a while just a regular lace job will jump up and bite me in the but and make me feel like I dont know what I'm doing. I normally can lace one in about 13 minutes. It takes me probably 30 to true it. If I have to sit and figure out something exotic it would be too long of a process.

Wow that wheel looks like you could eat alot more twinkies and not worry about folding it when ya hit a curb. :mrgreen:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Maddog everybody knows Twinkies are light and fluffy ,so how could eating them make you gain any weight. :roll: Ought to try to spoke one . the 10 ga. spokes are like penciles. They use the same ones on motorcycles...way over kill
