Anyone have a spoke length calculator handy?
Campy NR HF hubs, 36, built with Mavic G40's. 700c, of course.
These wheels are built with DT straight 14's, tied and soldered, very clean spokes. Yeah, yeah, I know, there's no proof that t&s accomplishes anything. I don't care. (I didn't build these, and I didn't tie them. I just think they're pretty, and kind'a cool.)
Here's what I want to do: loosen all the nipples (a bit at a time, of course), and pull the hubs with their t&s spokes out of the gray anodized Mavics, and then install them in a pair of narrow Super Champ Gentleman rims which Tom Sanders was kind enough to give me, and which cleaned up pretty nicely, with the application of substantial elbow grease. So the question is, how much spoke length difference is there between the Mavics and the Super Champs? Anyone got the reference source handy?
Now for the hub question. What's the significance of NR hubs that don't say "Record" on them? Campy world logo, nothing else. A bit earlier than the hubs that say "Record" on them? 60's, maybe? These sure are pretty hubs, in lovely condition. Shiny, and smooth like buttah. 120 spacing, straight skewers, obviously.
Thanks,
