Hey guys, I can't align my sprocket on this new wheel I have. The part where the sprocket sits is too short, so when I put on the rag joint and the sprocket, it just hangs there. What can I do? This is the final part of rebuilding this bike.
Please take some pics so we can see what the problem is.Hey guys, I can't align my sprocket on this new wheel I have. The part where the sprocket sits is too short, so when I put on the rag joint and the sprocket, it just hangs there. What can I do? This is the final part of rebuilding this bike.
9 hole sprockets are for 36 spoke wheels.I was able to mount it by wrapping duct tape around the hub until the sprocket sat aligned. However, there is no way all the bolts fit. There is always one that can't fit in no matter what. Is this OK?
You want a solution, you were asked how many spokes the wheel has, and now you don't want to count them? WTF. How lazy can you be that you can't put a piece of tape on one spoke (as a starting point) and count them. I guess you don't even take the garbage out either.No idea man. I bought these 26 inch wheels from a Trek mountain bike. No specs, and I really dont want to count them
The difference is fitting or not fitting. There are 18 spokes running to each side. They are crossed in pairs giving 9 pairs. The holes on the sprocket are drilled to line up with those 9 pairs. If you have 1 that does not line up then your chances of damaging your spokes is greatly increased. The only way to use the 32 spoke wheel is a hub adapter. Price of those will make you reconsider a new 36 spoke wheel. They can be found cheaper than the adapters.Hey hey man don't judge. I just thinking logically about it, these are the only wheels I have. No others. Don't plan on getting different wheels. So what's the difference if its a 32 spoke wheel or 36? I can't change that. I can't add more spokes you know? That's why I asked the second question, is it OK if I have the rag joint with one bolt missing.
But after I get home from work today, I can count the spokes.
And lol, yes. I take out the trash. I'm not a teenager
