Can you use 28 hole Rim with a 36 hole hub? - Into
Single speed folding bike. . . . . Not very useful in hilly Devon. Bucket full of old bike bits, 36 hole MTB hub and associated cassette, chain, and shifters.Can you use 28 hole Rim with a 36 hole hub? - Can it be done.
NO. Not without significant pre-meditation.
Can you use 28 hole Rim with a 36 hole hub? - What I learnt.
Basically in trying the lace a 36 hole hub to a 28 hole rim, you will end up with spare holes in the hub, this creates effective differences in spoke length, so if you start out with all the same lengths, as I did, some will be too short, others too long.I tried three times to get the combo to work, but couldn't and my standards are way low, so don't think you can bodge it, you can't. Of course I was also migrating from non-dished to dished which made things sven more difficult.

Can you use 28 hole Rim with a 36 hole hub? - A solution
If you still fancy a go and have the time to buy the proper spokes, then there a way to do this, but it is very difficult. A chap called Benjamin Lewis Has done it!
this is going to be an alternating crows foot spokes and crossing spokes pattern, with the two side offset, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI thought about the opposite (28 spoke hub, 16 hole rim) but I decided no fat butt needed a stronger wheel, so I would just be asking for trouble!
Yes it looks very complicated to get this to work, far beyond my 1 - patience 2 - time budget 3 - ability!
