[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 83513, member: 3287"] Just purchased SS spoke flanges from VOCSC for brother Harvey's new front wheel and they fitted OK on a new billet made hub, presuming the flanges are pressed out with the same press they should be all the same, had to dismantle one hub as lacing up to the upper drum (wheel laid horizontal with spacers under rim for central alignment) spokes unable to be entered between drum and flange, flanges removed and measured for the amount of dishing, with large diameter face down on surface plate and vernier depth taken from hub hole to surface plate , varies from 10.5 to 14.0 mm after measuring several sets of zinc plated steel ones. On 18" rims with cross 4 pattern the angle of the flange could do with a little more taper as it is hitting the side of the flange and one has to spring the spoke into alignment to fit nipple. also putting flats on the spoke head which I've done previously. drives on bananas better still three wheels completed spoke ends nicely ground off,, struggled fitting new tubes & tyres (bloody strength failing) then realized hadn't fitted rim tape (duck tape two turns) all off again in the morning, bugger & blast again here.
