I have drop center rims. Im trying to install a high flange forebrake hub. Also want to retain the 4 cross pattern to match rear wheel. Im told original 10 5/8" spokes will work. Any thoughts ? Or instruction ? Thank you
Im gonna appear ignorant right now..with the forebrake hub being substantially larger in diameter than the original hub, how can it be that the original 10 5/8" spokes and original 4 cross pattern work ?
might be because the holes are further apart. I don't know the exact math on it. There is a spoke length calculator somewhere.
Lace it up and see. If too many spokes are sticking out than use 10 19/32". You'll have more practice at lacing wheels
Howdy Complete forebrake set up. Original chrome on the brake, I'm not sure on the wheel. Lever has been re-chromed. Excellent overall condition on both. Wheel is mechanically extremely nice, possibly a perfect circle and true as can be, with no curb dings or rash, there are some blemishes...

This spoke calculator is provided only as a guide for your convenience in determining spoke lengths for your order. Select your components to quickly get a spoke length or you can enter them manually.
I've done it and didn't have a problem. The low flange hubs are a real trick though! I believe on the high flange they just have more angle coming off the hub which compensates for the distance if that makes sense. V/r Shawn
@Freqman1 & @BFGforme is this typical of using most large flange hubs? I ask because I have some I have thought about lacing up to 26" wheels but I am horrible with those calculators/math so I assumed all 26" wheels use 10 5/8" spokes; unless it was 2 different size hubs or an odd lace pattern etc.
