Subject: I have built a supremely stupid rear wheel!
|
I spied a pair of Exage hubs in the garage. Hmmm, they'd look
spectacular* on the single Viscount. but I didn't have a cassette tool
handy for the 7spd cogset. spokes still attached on drive side. Loong
as they'd once been laced to those awful single wall Arayas. I grabbed
the Viiscount's original Titlist mech and shifter--and built a neo-
retro 7speed with stupid rear wheel!
32 spoke 4x drive side to fit a Mavic semi aero rim. Non drive I had
proper length spokes for a standard 3x--but couldn't balance stupid
with sensible, so I did 3X, but all heads out. I went over over over
for you avid lacers! I built it up tight and true, but I've invited
doom with the stresses created with my stoopid lacing--and as a bonus,
I believe if I break a drive side spoke I'll need to service the
headset.
Guesses on how many miles till implosion? Front is normal 3x--I don't
like stoopid wheels in front. ;-)
*compared to the hideous large gauge Sora.

Ah, but they are rarely *sentences*, in the English-language sense.

We grade on the curve here. Anything at or above Gene Daniels passes.

butbutbut, gene's mangling of the English language is deliberate.

'scuse the crud--and I do need to try and seat a couple of those spoke
heads, but I did give it quite a workover--like a pre-enlightenment
heathen giving the wheel of torture some fierce payback.
