Building a wheel with internal nipples

I'd like to build a set of wheels with internal nipples but I have never done this before. All of my previous wheel builds had external nipples. How do I calculate the spoke lengths? Do I just add...

My hesitation with cold setting the frame to a wider width is that this is semi-permanent and kind of locks me into either using this specific hub/cassette configuration or a mountain hub like...

Mismatching dropout spacing and hub O.L.D.

In my last thread, I had problems with not having enough clearance around my rear dropouts for a chain riding on the smallest cog of my 10spd Veloce cassette. That thread is here...

I'm going to go back to the garage this weekend and try a few more experiments. The one thing I didn't photograph is how a 12-27 Shimano 10spd system fits in Viner and how the Campy hub fits in my...

I took some more pictures and created a collage. Hopefully the collage is easier to view than multiple individual files.

I never would have thought that the frame could not accept a 10spd cassette. Are the largest and smallest sprockets always in the same position regardless of their number? I understand that the...

Where do I measure the splines to? Do I include the raised stopper in that length?

(P.S. I see I forgot to add a picture. I'll post it when I come home from work this evening.)

The "raised stopper" is part of the freehub - not the cassette. I took a picture of the gap between the 29t cog and the hub. See the attached picture, gap.jpg. I assembled the cassette in the order...

Lacing a 32h hub to a 36h rim

Is this possible? I thought it was by skipping two spoke holes on the rim. You would have to lace the top half and bottom halves of the wheel separately. Any ideas?

I am installing a Campy Veloce triple crankset and I am confused as to what the correct BB spindle length should be. Should I be installing a 111mm or 115mm length spindle? I have been trying to...

I was hoping to find something in black, around 90mm in length, and not welded. Seeing that my choices are limited, I won't be picky. Maybe the icycles offering is what I need. I was just hoping for...

Fellow wrenchers,

How long do spokes "last"?

According to Sapim's website, their Race double butted spokes are rated for 980,000 wheel revolutions. If I did my math right, and depending on your wheel circumference, that's only 1200 miles or so....

Thanks for the replies! Ok, so my eyes aren't playing a trick on me. The "up" and "down" holes are noticeable but with all the spoke holes almost inline with each other it was hard to be sure.

Off center rim spoke hole pattern

I just got some Velocity Synergy 650b O/C rims. The spoke holes look perfectly lined up. Are my eyes playing a trick on me here? I thought there should still be an "up" hole and "down" hole? If I had...

I was also wondering if a wheel with an asymmetrical rim is easier to true and build because of the more even spoke tension. Or, does it take about the same effort?

Asymmetrical rims on front and rear wheels with disc brakes?
