500 K cafe racer conversion - build thread
Ewan 500 K1:
crap & bollocks , when I look at the rebuilt front wheel, the hub is too far off centre, despite the rim being trued to 0.2mm... need to unbuild and start again. Additional buggeration is that I have now mashed one of the the nipples. Can anyone tell me this, are all 40 spokes identical ?

No they are NOT, according to the parts list, there are 20 Type "A", and 20 Type "B", the difference is very slight, but they are different :'(

Okay,just checked with DSS website, Spoke "A" is 203mm long, and goes on the inside of the hub, Spoke B is 202.5mm long, and goes on the outside of the hub, hope this helps ;)

The angle of the head to spoke is also different inside to outside
