Just an old fart trying to keep up. I have started building my version of the Alfa Romeo P3 Tipo B. Brian S has set a very high mark, I don’t even kid myself that mine will be as nice as his. Don’t hold your breath. It is going to take me a while.

I know, I know I already have a front axle and spindles that will work just fine. But I have been trying to push into new...
Determining Spoke Length
Posted on: Sunday June 14, 2015
Well, next on the list is to determine the spoke length required to mate my custom hub to the RIMs I have selected. There are spoke length calculators available on the web to perform this task (see E Bikes Spoke Calculator but I thought I woud come up with a method that made sence to me and THEN see how it compared to the calculated length.
