With these given details, probably the question you would have to answer yourself.
Eventually you can seek the help here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/90178027@N02/9042037808/ :wink:
These wheels are so different that it is hard to compare them. And giving anybody any recommendations without knowing details determining your wheels choice, is impossible.

Simon: How are you stress relieving the spokes? CX-Rays make it easy to build with no wind-up, but as WMW said, stress relief is most definitely needed.

Stress relieving is specifically taking spokes past yield so that the residual stresses (at the elbow especially) are relieved. Fatigue strength is greatly improved by this.

Improving the spoke path is another issue. I bend the spokes slightly at the J, cross, and above the threads. After several rounds of stress relieving everything is in the optimal state.

If you didn't do these steps it is likely that considerable bending and settling occurred after the build.

If the rim is fairly straight you should have no more than 5kg variance on the NDS. The max DS tension and the hub geometry determines the NDS tension. Usually it's >50kg.

Thanks for the infromation, a handy reminder when building again.

When I rebuilt at the weekend I noticed that the Non-DS spokes were not set towards the spoke holes meaning that I did not form them as I normally would do. I think that coupled with not maintaining even spoke tension throughout the build has most likley contributed to the wheel coming undone.

I will make sure I pre-stress the wheel also, really can't remeber whether this was done before or not, possible not as I (wrongly) assumed it was not required due to no spoke wind-up.

Thanks for all the information, all help for future builds I'm sure :thumbup:

Mine build - i love it! weight of rims are around 480g - but at acceleration it feeling like they are lighter.

Kavitator,

May I ask you, how much did you have to bend the spokes on the NDS with that rear hub when installing them. I can see how to install the NDS spokes that have heads in through the drive side window, but the spokes that are elbows in / heads out must be very hard to install. Any trick ?

Interesting rear hub... that's why I'm asking :wink: .

Thanks !

Rear hub is from two parts and adjustable flange spacing for classic (10 speed) or 11 speed shimano

And that's how they look after just above 1000km:

Nice rims, they hold up very well. There was just one small correction after first few rides. Since than :D on my face.
I laced them to mig/mag 70/170 with cx-rays and alu nipples. I'm about 200lb/90kg.

Hi Chris,

I just wondered how after a few years you got on with the tune hubs?

Thanks
Nick

Nick,
They still speen nicely with no issues. But they haven't done a huge mileage, something like 12k km and did not see much rain. The only thing I did over this time, was cleaning and re-lubricating ratchet system. Having said that, it wasn't necessary.
For me these hubs are a perfect match for this build. Despite not too high max allowed tension of 100kgf, the wheels are stiff and sturdy. They have to carry rather heavy me and cope the roads with not always baby bottom like surface.
During the last trip I spent quite time riding very, I mean very bad roads. If I were in the position of picking components for the next build, I wouldn't hesitate to go for Tune's again.

I got around to looking at these rims.

Err.. looking at the rim from the DS with hub aligned, the spoke hole to the right of the valve hole is oriented to the NDS.

So what I;m finding is doing a 3x wheelbuild, the DS is spoke is crossing the valve hole acutely.

Clearly this is an error and the valve hole is in the frigging wrong place on the rim!

Do you disregard the orientation of the spoke holes and build with the spokes in reverse?



EDIT. My bad. The rim has a reversed orientation by design. The key DS spoke is not to the right of the valve hole but the second spoke hole to the right of the valve hole.

When I first started wheelbuilding I used Schraner's book, "The art of wheelbuilding".

His method in step 1 puts the #1 spoke to the LEFT of the valve hole and to the drive side. Therefore the spoke to the right goes to the NDS.

All my wheels, Archetype, Pacenti, Open Pro, have been built this way, and that's the way they are oriented.

edit. Over on RBR there's a similar thread with the identical conclusions from others, to what I just said here.
There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?

One.

So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

I could barely articulate the thread posted at RBR.

Thanks I eventually figured it out.
