[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 149874, member: 1632"] MM, Have you spoken with the folks at Buchanan's? Recently I rebuilt a set of Triumph pre conical wheels. I ordered the spoke set from one of the usual suppliers of Triumph parts. When the spokes arrived they were bundled in sets and marked only by set number. As I'm sure you know the pre conical Triumph rear hub has flanges. Knowing that the spokes sets were from Buchanan's I called and asked which set was inside the flange and which went outside as I was having a hard time discerning this. Having only built Guzzi wheels before, which are all 'Nail Heads" and straight I didn't know which set went where. The lady on the other end of the phone told me which was which. She then commented that she was surprised that she didn't field more calls asking which spokes went inside or outside of flanges. So Buchanan's is aware this angle is important and I know several section members have successfully built wheels for Vincents with their products. Perhaps they can be of some help. Steven [/QUOTE]
