Robert's 32H Paul FHub & Word Disc Hubs on Salsa 29er Race Delgado Rims

We built these for customer Robert's custom Independent Fabrication Single-Speed 29er.



  • Paul black 32H FHub disc 100 front hub


  • Paul black 32H Word Disc 135mm rear hub


  • Salsa Race Delgado 29er black disc rims


  • 3 cross pattern


  • DTSwiss stainless steel black spokes and black (brass) nipples.


    • Spokes for the rear drive side (no disc) = 16 x 293 mm


    • Spokes for the rear non-drive side (disc) = 16 x 293 mm


    • Spokes for the front (non disc)  = 16 x 293mm


    • Spokes for the front (disc)  = 16 x 292mm


    * Remember: If you are used to building non-disc front bike wheels, disc front wheels use different spokes lengths for each side. If you build road bike wheels or mountain bike wheels with rims that accept caliper, cantilever, or V brakes, you can usually assume the 100mm front hub measurements will allow you to use the same length of spoke for both sides of the wheel. (The front hub has the same left and right center-to-flange measurements, and there is no dish to the front wheel, since there are is no cassette or freewheel.) So, check all your hub measurements when you are building front disc hubs.

    Pete's Halloween Treat for Narda 32H Campagnolo Record Hubs Orange Velocity Aerohead Rims

    • Campagnolo Record black 32H 10-speed rear hub 130mm


    • Campagnolo Record black 32H 10-speed front hub 100mm


    • Velocity Aerohead Orange 700c OCR rear rim (machined sidewall)
      • Note: Make sure you calculate spoke length to the correct ERD for each rim type. An OCR rim (off center rim) has an off-center drilling to reduce the dish, and thereby the difference in drive side and non-drive side spoke tensions. The ERD for an OCR is different than the ERD for a normally drilled rim.
        • ERD = 598 for OCR Aerohead 700c.


        • ERD = 602 for Aerohead 700c normal drilling.


    • Velocity Aerohead Orange 700c front rim (machined sidewall)


    • Sapim DB 14/15/14 stainless steel black spokes and black Polyax nipples
      • Spokes for the OCR rear drive side are 3 cross = 16 x 290mm


      • Spokes for the OCR rear non-drive are 3 cross = 16 x 292mm


      • Spokes for the front are radially laced  = 32 x 282mm
        • (I know. But style and sense said refrain from 3-xing a Campy Record front hub for a 125 lb female road racer who once put 100,000 miles [yes, five zeros] on a Campy bottom bracket.)

    Daniel's 32H Black Paul Flip/Flop Track Hubs on Velocity White Deep Vs

    • Paul black 32H High-Flange Track Fixed/Free 120mm rear hub


    • Paul black 32H High-Flange Track 100mm front hub


    • Velocity Deep V 32H white rims (non-machined)


    • 3 cross pattern


    • Sapim DB 14/15/14 stainless steel black spokes and black Polyax nipples
      • Spokes for the rear fixed side = 16 x 281mm


      • Spokes for the rear free side = 16 x 281mm


      • Spokes for the front  = 32 x 281mm


    • Velocity red Veloplugs = 64


    FYI: I was a lab rat and tried Velocity veloplugs on my own fixie. When changing a flat, I did have one or two of the plugs unseat themselves and not fit snuggly back into the spoke hole again. It was kind of a pain. So, I am back to Velox rim tape. Daniel is  giving them a test on his ride to see what his experience is with the light, waterproof, plastic plugs that fit in the spoke holes. (The veloplugs are the red dots in the photos.)
