[QUOTE="john998, post: 35403, member: 289"] Hello, Just rebuilding this wheel with a new stainless rim. An oddity appeared in that the old spokes are in two different lengths. After much pondering this is because the flanges have different bolt hole/spoke hole alignment. This makes building the wheel more of an thinking exercise. Also with the new rim the short spokes are OK but the long spokes are rather short, this must have something to do with the new rim drilling. Have now checked the stainless spokes that I replaced as they kept breaking, these were in the wheel originally, they are all the same length 8 1/8" Now I am confused suggestions please. Regards John. [/QUOTE]
