Finally riding a big boys bike
I've laced enough wheels to get the job done...but this one has me at a standstill. Unlike any hub I've worked with, the spokes can't be dropped though, or pushed up through, the hub flange. As you can see, the spoke heads fit through slots in the flange - making everything very unwieldily. The spokes keep dropping out of place with the tiniest shift of the rim. Plus, not being able to sight through the flanges, I can't figure where to start my second set of nine. Does anyone know how to work with this kind of situation...or point me towards some info? Even if there's a name for this kind of hub (a "blind hub"?) would help my futile internet searches. I'm flying blind on this one. (And, no. The free wheel side or the brake drum side can't be removed. I think that's why the flange holes have been designed to permit spoking.) Thanks.
