Help w/40 hole hub
I have a Sturmey Archer 3 spd wheel that I would like to use on a 27" wheel frame. The old steel rim is very corroded. Is there a way to lace this hub to a rim of fewer hole drilling? I will probably have to go 700c DIA, but is there a pattern of skipping a few hub holes to get it on a diff (32h or 36h) rim?
Thanks
Thanks

Let's see... you have spokes going in four directions, so divide by four. That gives you ten, and 32/36h rims need eight/nine spokes in each direction.
So can you imagine 8/10 or 9/10 spaced evenly? I can't. You could prolly build it, but spoke lengths would vary a bit. There aren't that many mismatched combinations that work well; 24h radial on 36h for example is fine.

O_o ?
If it's so private, why tell us?
And if not, why not share?

Eh? What's the big deal?
You're not being a little paranoid, maybe? I'm not having a go, mate. Just curious.
The only reason I can think of is to notify the OP, but it's pretty obvious when you have a PM anyway, even if you haven't enabled email notification or whatever...
Just seems redundant.

Sturmey archer hub shells are replaceable, without buying a whole hub
so you can get a 36 hole shell for the old beast.
SJS cycles, in the UK, if not Sturmey USA

I've never tried, but it might be possible to get an undrilled rim custom-drilled for 40 holes. I suspect you'd have to find a very good bike shop.

Why not just use a 40-hole rim? E.g.
R740 Rim Araya Alloy 700c x 40 hole $18.00
https://www.bikesmiths.net/parts.html
Sun Rhyno Lite 700c 40 hole Blk/Sil Rim In Stock Price: $34.00
https://www.bikeparts.com/search_resu...p?ID=BPC332478
40 hole rims are popular with tandems, so they should be fairly available:
