Can you lace a 32 hole rim to a 36 hole hub?
Can you lace a 32 hole rim to a 36 hole hub?
I’ve laced a 36 hole hub to a 32 hole rim, no problem skipping every ninth hole on the hub. It’s skipping holes on the rim that doesn’t work out for truing. I drilled out the rim to take 32 spokes and it worked fine, and the bike shop trued it up for me.
How do you count holes in a hub?
Hole Count – Your hubs and rims should match each other’s hole count….Here’s how to measure these distances:
- Figure out the distance between the lock nuts (where the hub sits in the dropouts) – 100 or 110 mm is typical for the front.
- Take that number and divide by 2.
- Then measure from the flange to the lock nut.

You should have the wheels and spokes trued and tensioned about once a year (if your ride often). Bicycle spoke rings can be plucked just like any other stringed instrument such as a guitar or a harp.
