Spoke Questions In category Tech issues Written by Frankie_Says I've built myself a set of tandem wheels (26" Bontrager Clyde Rims 36h, 14g DT spokes and Phil Wood tandem hubs). I have two concerns. 1) The spoke tension seems quite high. There is a little flex left in the spokes but feels much tighter than any wheel I've ever built before. Is there an easy way to test it? 2) How short is too short when it comes to spoke length? I'm assuming that perfect

re:Opinions on the building the "ultimate" wheel In category Tech issues Written by jersey I've broken 8 freehub bodies in the past 5 years (Shimano Deore, LX, XTR). I'm tired of that. So, I've decided to build the ultimate rear wheel, and just wanted to get some feedback on components. I'm 6'4", 250#, and the wheel is for my mountain bike - I ride mostly single track trails and small drops (2' max). Weight is not a concern. My current set up is: RIM Mavic X223, 26" REAR H
re:How to remove / install hub dustseals without damaging them? In category Tech issues Written by hrd2hndle Help, I've just bent my set of dust seals from my XTR front hub. Shimano just called them "seals", but basically they are the little metal covers that "just press" into the hub body above the bearings if you know what I mean. They tend to be very thin, and I'm quite clumsy! Trouble is, I've never figured out how to remove them (either from the freehub body or from eitherside of the the front hub,
re:Wheel building for heavy riders In category Tech issues Written by Daisetsu Who can give me some ideas on building a wheel for a big guy that wants to ride but keeps thrashing wheels, he's riding city streets, not racing or slamming down hills or over rocks, potholes, bumps, or curbs, he just needs something that will stand up to his hefty size until he can ride the pounds off. He's on a budget but obviously it's cheaper to put a little money into a good wheel than it is
re:Spoke breakage problem? In category Tech issues Written by happychild I experienced an interesting problem this weekend. After completing a long ride on Saturday, a rear drive side spoke broke (at the nipple) in the back of the van while driving home. I built the wheels a few years ago; 32 hole small flange Campy Record freewheel hubs, Campy Victory Strada tubulars, w/ DT 14 g butted spokes, 3X on the drive side, radial on the non-drive side. I don't recall ever
re:DT Black alloy nipples question In category Tech issues Written by bwalker I've got a question for the experienced wheelbuilders. I recently got two 100 packs of "DT black alloy spoke nipples" from eBay. I've worked with a bunch of different alloy nipples, and DTs have been my favorite. Got a good deal ($10/100) so I was pretty happy. Well, I think I might have been taken. They are, indeed, black alloy nipples, but I'm wondering if they're either not really DT, or if DT 11 Products tagged with "dt spokes"Stainless Steel spokes from DT, the world leader in spokes.
