  • I’m slightly confused here. You said you already have carbons on novatecs? Why not rebuild those?

    Ok I can see next message.
    Just rebuild them. If there’s no cracks just go for it. Set of lasers will set you back about £150 plus labour? Seems like the easiest of options. Someone saying they ‘might’ crack is entirely speculative.
    I might get crushed by a piano tomorrow!

    You’ve very unlikely to find a set of OTP (off the peg) that are specifically dished 6mm non drive side

  • Because the Lbs tried and couldnt manage, spoken to Arup and he wouldn't take the job, did some research and others say that it's not advisable. Asking here to hear more opinions.

  • I’m still not sure I understand. Did you just ask them to redish? Because I’d refuse that as well. That’s far too an extreme change in tension vs spoke/nipple length.

    Rebuild the whole thing with new spokes.
    I don’t know what you currently have so can’t offer more info than that

  • I imagine it's not advisable because they were on about using the spokes already in the wheels. One side would be too long and one side too short if you tried redishing.

    What the guys above are saying is buy new spokes and rebuild the same rims and hubs with new spokes the right length.

    There's no extra risk, as Howard says, the rim would actually be straighter over the flanges of the hub
