This is extremely cool. I'm gonna be getting a Schwinn deluxe 7, but wanted to do 144 spoke chrome or gold wheels. Does this work with the nexus 7 speed internal hub too?

 

[Mr-hot]

I do not know

if the dimension of the nexus 3 are the same as the nexus 7

it will do :roll:

 

[tna0531]

on the 24" 10cm rim did you need to get an offset sprocket on the 3 speed hub for chain clearance on the wheel?

 

[Mr-hot]

yes it is required

 

[Karliegh]

How can I get those flanges? My boyfriend is currently trying to put an internal hub into 144 spoke rims with no luck, and I'd love to get them for christmas.

 

[scrumblero]

those wheels are almost as cool as your spoke rolling machine!! I seriously gotta find me one of those... :shock:

 

[12gaugesage]

Thats awesome. Very simple yet innovative, looks sick!!!!

 

[glamisboy23]

Is there any company that makes the 144 spoke flange in the usa and if not were can I buy them at

 

[213N8V]

[glamisboy23]
