Generic sm wheels on dt hubs

declan

Do I need to make sure that both wheels have the same spoke count or is that not necessary

Mightyman

Pretty sure that is a must. Other than that I'm not much help

@mightyman lol yeah I'm just trying to find out as much as I can before I commit dont like the idea of having no wheeled bike lol

finnerz89

The rim and the hub will have to have the same number of spokes yes! Lol

Doesnt matter if front has 32 and rear has 36fx.
The bike doesnt care, and theyre made to last on the bike youre taking them from in the first place.

@declan As @finnerz89 said the rim and hub needs to have the same number of spokes. You can have different numbers from front to back as @Jens-Eskildsen said, but bear in mind that the more spokes you have the stronger the wheel will be. Most bikes are either 36 or 40 spokes per wheel.

@cyber-ninja I was just asking because I didn't my know wether there was a universal pattern for wheels

Jens Eskildsen

Nope, most are different. They can even have the same spoke-count, but the angle which the spokes are mounted can be different, the same goes with the length of them.
