Excellent news. thanks very much.

I have been told that my 9 speed Triple chainset will not work with my, soon to be purchased, 10 speed wheel and cassette.

Apparently it will 'jump'

Has anyone had problems mixing 9 and 10.

I have an 8 on the back currently ( wheel has broken and 8 hubs seem very hard to find ) which works ok with the 9 triple ?

Many thanks as always.

Many thanks, I'll ring him tomorrow.

Sadly, I dont have any of the parts so was looking at an off the shelf wheel. i can find penty of shimano hubs but not many campagnolo.

Hi,
Looking for a rear wheel - Mavic a319 built on Campagnolo hub.
Does anyone know of any deals out there UK or Overseas ?

Any recommended Wheel builders for this ?

Many thanks.

Thanks very much to all for the extremely helpful answers.

I have just purchased a Shimano 3N-80 Dynohub ( built into Wheel ) and Edelux light.

The Edelux instructions state

"If one contact of the dynamo is electrically connected to the frame (e.g.
all models of Shimano), the wires are no longer interchangeable: The outer
conductor of the coaxial cable (not insulated or covered with
black shrink sleeve) must be connected to the ground , the transparent
insulated interior wire must be connected to the phase contact of the
dynamo."

My question is do I just simply insert the transparent insulated wire into the phase contact of the Shimano ports and the remaining wire to the frame thereby earthing it ? I dont want to scrape paint off the frame to ensure a good earth though ?

If so, is it obvious which is the phase port ?

If I insert each wire into each port I assume there is no permanent damage ?

Why do you have to earth it with Shimano but not if you used a Schmidt SON Dynohub ?

Any advice / diagrams would be very helpful.

Many thanks.

thanks for all the advice - I, luckily, had read somewhere not to take them apart

think I will end up going for the Shimano 80 on the front which seems to get good reviews

Excellent - thanks again.

Think I'll just buy a new wheel with Dyno built in !

The hub came out of an old 26 x 1 3/8" - which is significantly different to the MTB.

I had an MTB rim lying around that I thought I would have a go at building the hub into.

I have built front wheels before and mended rear wheels - but not a rear from scratch

I havent measured the MTB that it was due to go into !!!

So a big thanks to you for saving my time !

I will check the MTB and then Road bike as it may fit in there ?

Off to tip next weekend on hunt for 700c or 27 wheel/rim and back on to all the various Spoke calculators !

Thanks again

Many thanks to all.

Thats great, many thanks.

Would you have any idea of the best way to lace them ?

I have a Sturmey Archer Rear Dynohub AG. A Weinmann 519 MTB 26" Wheel.

I have a variety of spokes but rather than dive in with random spokes does anyone know what spoke lengths I need, for drive side and Dynohub side ~( Larger flange ) and how this should be laced up ?

Many thanks

Many thanks for the replies.

Morning. New to forum today.

I have just purchased a 52/42/30 triple which has fitted nicely onto my existing ( dbl ) bottom bracket.

Also fitted the appropriate rear mech.

The triple is for a hilly Sportive so will not stay on there permanently.

I would be quite happy for the shifter to work on the 42 and the 30 as its incredibly rare for me to use the 52.

I have had a bash at getting this to work but am failing miserably

Do you know if this i possible or will I have to go for a triple front ?

Many thanks.
