Re: Well to play safe I checked the front wheel which I built at the same time using the same method and it’s still true and tension balanced. Retensioned the rear wheel and trued it up and we’ll see how it holds this time around, got it just under 120 which is the limit of what the rims are...

Re: Very interesting, what oil do you recommend? I went for a very thin oil and I’m wondering if a thicker oil would have been better

Re: I could physically move the rim an inch side to side, that loose, but once they start to loose tension it all goes downhill pretty fast

Re: Re: Nothing wrong with lubing your nipples, very common practice.

Re: Given the difference in spoke angles and the relative difference in spoke tension do you reckon I need to increase the tension to something like 150 & 90? I need to work out the exact ratio as I wonderingly if 70 is a little too low.

Over the years I’ve built tens of pairs of wheels and never had an issue with any of them until now. The wheel in question was the first MTB wheel I’ve built with a boost rear hub and ironically the build I was most proud of until I rode it. All the right hand spokes were tensioned was to 125...

For Sale Well it's time to let the Prestige go so it's now on eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232383010410

I'm watching a pair of rims on eBay in Maidstone which are collection only, are there any members that could collect them for me and post them to the Forest of Dean.

Re: Thanks, went back and measured the pitch, 10 teeth on the the stud are 7.5mm, as a sanity I also measured my "M6 x 75" bolts and it turns out that the company I bought the bolts of actually sent me M6 x 100 which explains why they didn't fit. Hopefully the correct bolts are on their way.

Re: Do metric bolts still use TPI? Or is there some weird TPM or TPCM?

Re: Well ordered some M6 by 0.75 bolts and the thread was far to course, any other suggestions?

I'd like to replace the brake bosses on my QR20 Bombers with some cap head bolts as I'm running discs and don't perticularly like having two studs sticking out the front of the forks. However I can't figure out what the thread size is, it looks about M5 but the pitch is too fine, rather than...

I'm after a set of 100mm travel springs for a set of QR20 bombers, must be firm/hard/stiff or whatever the most appropriate word is. Thanks

Re: Re: In that case I'd say thin the collection down, keep the bike you most enjoy riding and get a more modern bike for you main ride, definitely try as many as possible first and find one that suits you. However if you decide to keep the Clockwork and get it resprayed I have a spare set of...
