Bart Plimsole Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hi, I need to rebuild my wheels from hubs. Does anyone have drawings showing offset and pattern for 19" 3sw wheels? Failing that, can you recommend someone to rebuild them. Thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenkinov Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi Bart I am not aware of any photos but can supply photos and measurements if that helps ...if you have the hubs I would suggest getting the wheels rebuilt is the best route Jenkinov . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jenkinov, I only have the hubs, (i.e. no rims or spokes) so the wheel builder has nothing to measure in terms of offset and spoke pattern on which to base the rebuild. If you have any pictures with measurement that would be appreciated. I'll check out ebay. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 This is the wheel in Greece. The pictures are good enough to see the spoke pattern and type of spoke. Better than photographing mine which are in the bikes, which also means I can't measure the offsets. I'll check later but I guess they are WM2 rims. The front should be easy as it sits in the middle of the forks, so the wheel builder can work that out. Sometimes it's easier to align the rear wheel in the frame so that the center of the rim lines up with the spine (tank tube). Chris Willis might be the guy to talk to (He's into military bikes himself) http://www.williswheels.co.uk/ Good luck Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Hi Andy, I rebuilt my wheels using spokes from CWC (warren@central-wheel.co.uk). I left the rims old. The dimensions of the spokes are given below (chrom & nickel for civilian version): FRONT WHEEL galvanised spokes G= 10 Gauge of spoke = 3,2 mm - lenght 7 ½” = 190,5 mm, Angle 78 degree -10 pcs - lenght 7 ½” = 190,5 mm, Angle 99 degree -10 pcs - lenght 8 7/8” = 225,4 mm, Angle 78 degree -10 pcs - lenght 8 7/8” = 225,4 mm, Angle 99 degree -10 pcs - Nipples nickel plated brass Barrel = 0,300” G= 10 Gauge -40pcs REAR WHEEL galvanized spokes G=9 Gauge of spoke = 3,6 mm. - lenght 8 ¾” = 222,25 mm, Angle 76 degree -10 pcs - lenght 8 ¾” = 222,25 mm, Angle 100 degree -10 pcs - lenght 9” = 228,6 mm, Angle 76 degree -10 pcs - lenght 9” = 228,6 mm, Angle 100 degree -10 pcs - Nipples nickel plated brass Barrel = 0,300” G= 9 Gauge -40 pcs The offset will come out by themselves. First, set the rear hub so that the rear sprocket and sprocket (gearbox) are in one plane. And the rim should be in the axis of the frame.

welbike Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I would never use galvanised spokes, paint will fall of in a year or so, dip them in battery acid, wait 2-3 minutes, when the acid stops bubbling, and they will be bare steel, much better, watch out for the fumes, and rinse with lots of warm water, then dry. Cheers, Lex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) You're right Lex. These are galvanized spokes and nickel nipples to the civilian version. For the military version I painted the sandblasted spokes and nipples like in the photos.
