After ~8 hours of work I have a complete set of wheels for my single speed again. Starting with a dented rim<\/a> and acquiring parts to do the rebuild<\/a> I set to learn to understand how to lace the rims and how to finish off the wheels. Having renippled a wheel set before<\/a> I had a bit of experience with tensioning and truing wheels, but these were a bit different spec and the work was done two years ago, so there was a lot to learn.<\/p>\n

I ended up with a three-cross lacing, symmetrically laced on the front wheel and asymmetrically on the rear. This is per the recommendation of Shimano<\/a> for disc brake wheels, and confirmed by info found at the Disc Wheel Lacing article at PVDwiki<\/a>. A setup like this is the same as is used on motorcycles, and appears to be recommended by all manufacturers (except Chris King<\/a>) as the best way to set up wheels. Best I can understand this will allow the wheel to accept lots of load on the front wheel when braking and an even amount on the rear when braking or pedaling.<\/p>\n

Once the wheels were done I put the tires and rotors back on and took a brief spin around the parking lot, riding up and down curbs as frequently as possible. I heard one or two small spoke pops, but otherwise they seem all right. I think I’ll end up going for a ride on them then retensioning \/ truing them on more time, and after that hopefully they’ll be okay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
