I've been trying to read up about how to lace a 24h rim to a 32h hub. There's some very complicated calculations and things going on. Could anyone help me/teach me how I can go about doing this please? I'm trying to put this certain combination together from some parts I have.

Sheldon Brown's website on it makes my head go numb...

Don't. Buy a new rim or hub to match whichever rim or hub you're really attached to. Once you've factored in all your time faffing around with the calculations the new rim/hub will seem like a bargain.

Time to sell the rim then.....thanks guys. I've been wrecking my brains for the last few days, decided it actually won't make sense to have a front wheel in that combination because the lacing pattern just won't work!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
