Hi all, Could anyone out there sent me pic of a xt wheel, Got my rim +hub back from the powercoater today and having a little problem relacing. :-[I wrote out a desent road map to guide me but did'nt have my camara w/me when i cut the spokes. so now i'm not shure if i'ts the thickness of the powder,the spokes, or did i screw up w/my diagrams.so once again if anyone could shoot me over a pic or a link to a xt serice manual it would be greatly appreciated ;D

Thanks Gary for the fast post.
looks like the same pattern that i'm using, anyone have any experance w/ montesa 's this is the rim i boughthttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300066072674 hoping it would work
i have been lacing harley wheels for about 15 yrs and told bucannens
(the spoke people) what i have except that it was a rim off a montesa ,any one know if montessa has a odd lacing pattern that might no be compatable w/ a yamaha hub?
tomorow i will bring home the rim that came w/the hub and give it a try
but i'm just a little frustrated,as normaly i have better refarance materal or another bike to look at
anyway thanks for reading my ?/rant
Bob
ps any one need a black p/ced akront sholdered rim for a montesa if this dos'nt work out lol

Hi, It can depend on the size of the wheel hub as different sizes can result in different angles for the drilled holes... SR  |

thanks Stew, that was my impression that could be the only difference,i may have a spoke issue, and unlike when i did the front wheel i saved a set of spokes, this time i forgot sometimes you create your problems!  Bob |

Check the Montesa rim closely, most of them used conical hubs. I laced a rim from a differnet bike onto a XT hub, and learned from a different forum that the hub dimensions, diameter and width must be within 1/2" of each other. Other wise the nipple will not seat properly and the spoke will take a sharp turn as it leaves the nipple. This could lead to fracture. I can post a pic .
