got my speedhub and blunt P35 rims ( 32h) ready for a build . Just wanted to check re recommendations on lacing and spokes/brass nipples etc . want a strong reliable build as I'm no weight weenie and value reliability over peformance .
thanks
bill
Make sure the spokes pull on the hub hole tabs in the correct direction. There is info on the rohloff site. Also cross pattern recommendations
https://www.rohloff.de/en/service/downloads/documentation/index.html
Maximum 2x an pulling away from the casing bolt.
read somewhere 3 cross was OK for 29ers but not 26... ?
Maybe ask Ben Cooper at kinetics
Fwiw I've built 29" 3x, but most hoff material seems more than happy at 2x
I'm sure Rohloff specify 2x. I must get round to building mine into a wheel - 10 years is a bit long to having it lying around. 🙂
With the large diameter hub 2x will be strong enough.
