I only got the rim, I did not get a hub with it. I will use my existing hub and re-lace the new rim onto it using the old spokes.

Foxx4Beaver:
you should be fine if that's the case...providing the spoke nipples are the same diameter for the new wheel you're getting...which I'm not sure of.

I'm pretty sure I told you the same thing....same scenario.

Yep....I should have listened to you.... :-D

$60 down the drain  :-(

yup...we've all been there....I'm still learning the hard ways of different things everyday :oops:

ecdeyzel:
Hey guys. So last night I tried to remove my spokes from the old rim and snapped one of the spokes, so now I will have to buy a new set, which is a good thing for the reliability side of things.

Breaking one off I could confirm that the spoke nipples would not have fit on the new rim anyway. So hope I can get a set that does.

I was thinking, will i severely weaken or damage the rim if I drilled a hole for a rim lock? Or should I not chance it?
