doogle Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I have an excel tubeless rim I wanted to use for my 175. It's the montesa type with the flange for the spokes to go in. I can't find anyone to build the wheel as no one can seem to source suitable spokes with the adjuster in the middle like a Mont. I am sure people have done this. Can anyone help?

lineaway Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 You would need custom made spokes, just on the hub side. It can be done. Just won`t be very cheap. You could use the stock Yamaha spokes on almost any Excel 36 hole rims or the old style tubeless 36 hole from a gas gas, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I have a Akront rim to do the same using Beta outer spokes & the nipple. The problem I've come across is that the thread is M4 & none of the wheelbuilders I have asked were able to help I did see that twinshock shop from memory said they did spokes for this but I couldn't justify the 200 pounds plus postage to this side of the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick40bmx Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 £200.00 postage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Not 200+ for postage, 200 for the spoke set & whatever the postage ended up being. Would have been 500+ dollars before I even did anything to the wheel & that was just too much for me justify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
