Oops or **** it! Rear wheel re-spoke update

--- Quote from: billdn on September 26, 2020, 05:10:27 PM ---I bought them as a set of rims and spokes from DS for £159.00 all in, so I would like to think that they are compatible spokes to holes - However they no longer appear on their list of parts for the 400/4 - hmm I smell a rat. I have emailed DS and will wait and see!

I notice on the DSS site the wheel rim selection has hole sizes given for some not others, it strikes me as odd that there might be two sizes. The first thing I thought when I saw your pics was incompatible parts. I've got re-spoking on my own wish lidst so I'm watching with interest.

What a pain Bill, I hope you get it sorted with Sliver as that can't be right.

Hi all
£159 for a set of rims and spokes seems a bit cheap to me
Fitted alloy rims and stainless spoke from central wheel supplies for my project and total was over £400
IMO wheels are like brakes, they are a critical safety item. And one day your life may depend on them so you should buy the best you can afford
Hope you get it sorted Al

Mr Silver advises that this was a "batch" they were offered and would not be able to source more - hmm! However their correspondence so far is positive , they wanted to know the diameter of the spoke , which is 10.4mm at its widest, where it fits inside rim.
I have old DID rear and front rims that need rechroming so I may have to go down that route, but it seemed better financially to just re-use the hubs in new rims, we shall see. Incidentally the new spoke thread fits the old rim nipple , personally i suspect the rim, couple more pics added with spoke removed for your delectation.
Agree with the comment on Central Wheels and their rims but I'm only a poor old pensioner!! ;)

Hope you get it sorted Bill
I've been 'warming up' to doing my wheels so interested seeing how others get on.
It seems DSS have 2 or 3 different rims they offer but not all in stock so a bit confusing at the moment, luckily not in a rush!
Wemoto also have rims and spokes but again no idea on quality of these.
Think I'll sit back and wait a bit - really just putting off making a decision but luckily have lots of other bits to do in the meantime.
Cheers,
Andy
