Hub dimensions...

[rotecguy]

Okay, hopefully someone can help me here. I need to find the dimensions on a coupla hubs so i can get the right spokes.

Hubs are:

Real front disc hub, std quick release

Rocky mountain rear disc hub, also QR

Yeah, I know I should just measure them, but I am kinda lazy. None of the sopke calculators that I have found have either of those hubs in there.

All hubs have the same length, 110mm I think.

I don't know off hand what most of the measurements will be.

Locknut to locknut on the front hub should be 100mm. Locknut to locknut on the rear hub should be 135mm. Now, take some calipers and measure flange diameter. Should end up around 58-61 mm. Now measure the distance from locknut to center of flange on each side (it'll differ on each side due to the disc mount and cassette mount, etc). Then subtract that from HALF the locknut to locknut measurement and you'll have center to flange.

Punch that into a spoke calculator along with your rim diameter and other stuff and ba-bang!

Sorry if you knew this already. :D :D

Thanks for the help guys. I was being lazy and hoping i wouldn't have to bust out the calipers, But I'll just have to suck it up and measure the damn things myself. It is just a pain with the discs and cassette and stuff on the hubs, since the wheels are built right now but I am building up different rims.

That could be fun. But, it only takes a few minutes to rip a cassette and rotor off... it'll be fine.

HAve fun building the wheel up!

That will tell you the proper length of spoke for most hub`s ,I just cant remember it ,maybe it`s wheel smith:confused: :confused: :confused:

Sorry Metal, that was ment for Rotecguy.
