Hey Guys,
I have a (I believe) stock 18" rear rim, with drum brake that I'm trying to re-lace. I have the Mikes XS spoke set 19-0060 that should fit. When lacing up the "outers", everything is fine. The spokes fit, the angles are correct, the rim is centered on the wheel. Life is good. The problem is when trying to lace the "inners", the angle of the spoke just doesn't allow the spoke to go to the center of the rim. To get it in the hole would require bending the spoke at least 1/8" to 3/16" to fit in the hole. Unfortunately, I no longer have the old spokes to compare with. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jay
