Hello people. First time publishing here, so pls forget my mistakes. I am building an Extralite CyberFront SL hub radially laced to a Token C22 rim. I was planning to use DT Swiss Aerolite spokes but I have realized that the hub's spoke holes are extremely tight for a DT Swiss sample (but not Aerolite) spoke I have. The company which has sold me the hub told that I can use any 2 mm spoke that I want. Has anyone had difficulties lacing such a hub? Any spoke suggestions?

Some hub are tight to get spoke through but once tensioned they sort themsleves out. so long as it goes through all will be well dont worry about bending it the spoke suffers worse when tensioned and then ridden for thousands of miles.

I decided on Sapim CX Ray for I have found one fella on YouTube who built the very same hub with CXs. By the looks of it, the Sapims went in easely.WinterRider wrote:professorandre22 wrote:Hello people. First time publishing here, so pls forget my mistakes.
