In light of the recent posts about the transition from 32x40 hole rims to 36x36 hole rims, I am wondering if there are any safe ways to lace a 40 hole hub to a 32 hole rim. Or even lacing a set of 32x40 hole hubs to a set of 36x36 hole rims?
Or are these practices strictly advised against?
I've definitely heard of it being done but I know that it is not a common thing and that it requires some careful spoke measuring.
I'm asking this, of course, because I have a lovely set of airlite 40x32 hubs and I am facing the fact that finding some mavic ma2's in 32x40 is pretty challenging.
However, if you happen to have a nice set of silver-colored 32x40h clincher rims, please feel free to drop me a line!
Off to enjoy the weather...
