After buying a spoke wrench, and instantaneously losing it, finally got another, and unlaced the rear wheel from my Flet Red Baron. It had an unbranded, but Shimano-looking coaster on it, and I have a Shimano 3GC hub to go in there, so I can FINALLY ride the thing! By the way, what did they use to factory torque the spokes? A 1" Impact wrench? Usually I use a screwdriver, but the heads were stripping before they'd turn! Even the spoke wrench slipped on a couple, and I had to loosen the ones around them first. Anyway, I was thinking I could lace it 4 cross to make up for the larger hub flange, but then thought that'd be a lot of time if it isn't going to work! Then I remembered there's some sort of spoke calculator out there. Would one of our fine members direct me to it? :mrgreen: -Adam
