[rcab85]

what about the hub centric situation? 63.4 to 70.8?

 

[chris2523]

something like ...

[rcab85]

Yeah but 4 mm off?

 

[chris2523]

thats point 4 (0.4) mm. which is very little.
the alternative would be to keep searching, or to have some custom rings made.
but these will be pretty close, and are cheap.

 

[rcab85]

Roger that buddy.

 

[rcab85]

says different rims need different thickness rings?

says different rims need different thickness rings?

This is correct, plenty of wheel manufacturers use a different ID for hub width. I had to use a micrometer to spec my wheels out, and then find a set of rings that would fit them to my hubs by measurement. I think they were 63.4mm to 72.5mm or some such like that. It's a pretty simple business, though.

I understand that but they say the actual width of the ring oh it just hit me, take a wheel of and mic the ring on the hub?
