Lacing a Dimension hub to a Delgado
 

anyone know the proper spoke length for 3 cross? It's a 32h front dimension hub to a 32h delgado. My shop sized it and gave me the wrong lenght (292) and now my wheel is laced, but I have a mile of spoke sticking out the top. I figure somebody out there has laced up this set up. Thanks!

if nobody can help you, there is a spoke length calculator linked through sheldon brown.

i would link you there, but i seem to be having trouble with his website... sorry.

DT Swiss has one on their website.

or google spoke length calculator and the first result is an awesome resource.

if this is the same as a nashbar hub I just one to a delgado, 290s.

If it's laced, tension it roughly and you'll see how much shorter spokes you need. I myself haven't had good luck with spocalc at all. Once the spokes I got were a bit too short, once a bit too long. No drama, but not perfect. Sloppy rim measuring on my part, I guess.
So you're now in an ideal position to get it just right.

yeah, it is a nashbar version. 290 sounds right. My friend used 289 with a deeper wheel thinger.

I love the piss out of my delgados, and so do the customers I've steered towards them. Use a spoke calculator.

Re-cycle, what internal hub do you have on the back of that thing? I've been looking around for one for my winter bike. Looks nice.

Theres piss in your rims? gross dude.

WHOA! I'm an idiot! I laced it two cross instead of three! haha. Looks like I'll spend the next couple hours redoing this.

Got it right! Now I need to save up money to buy the rear rim and spokes to have a matching wheelset.
