Columbia WWI Military Model - Spoke lengths and cross pattern?

-

Bozman

Wore out three sets of tires already!
I'm rebuilding an original set of rims for my WWI Columbia Military Model bicycle. For those who have original bikes, are the spokes in a cross-3 or a cross-4 pattern? Also what are the lengths of the spokes for front and rear rims? I'm hoping the Electra Cream Amsterdam 700x40c clincher tires will fit the rims. If not Ill try the Kenda Kwest (Cream) 700 tires.

Thanks in advance,

Boz
 
The spoke have a certain number of spokes that they cross before they enter the rim. Most modern bikes cross 4.

Hello;
Here are the photos with MORROW hub, the lacing is the same as the G519.

Hoping this can help you.

if you bring the hub and rim to a bike shop they can calculate spoke length for you. there are also online tutorials on how to figure it out. as for 3 cross or 4 I'd say that is up to you just don't change your mind after you bought the spokes.
