Yet Another G29 P-Frame Build

This should be helpful for getting spoke holes drilled to match hub flange spacing at 100mm:

While I’d personally be nudging you towards a 125mm hub regardless of the limitations re frames for this (Nimbus or Flansberrium) - the good news is however - with an asymmetrical rim such as the one from LB and good spoke hole drilling angles - a 100mm hub can be built up to be pretty strong - and stronger than any 100mm 36er Schlumpf with either the new disc hub or the BrakeFast set up heretofore (using the previous symmetrical rims available)…

So the magic sauce here is the LB rim and probably evens out the gains you’d get from a 125mm 36” wheel build.

The above screenshot numbers should help you figure out spoke lengths for the LB rim.

Lots of chatting mostly to myself here: Game changer - 36er CARBON wheel! - #313 by mindbalance

… around ERD shenanigans - main up shot is LB list the ERD as 755 but in reality this isn’t where the nipples’ heads / spokes are destined to wind into so depending on nipples used - it is needed to add around 2mm per nipple or more again depending on nipple - but that all makes sense 759 being 755 + 2mm + 2mm as a base line.

I built my 125mm hub with 360/362 spokes so you can probably fathom the ERD I ultimately decided to go with.

I’ve probably gone and over complicated it for you now - but wanted to still share this as getting A-OK spoke lengths will make for a really robust wheel. In short. Worth the head scratching and manual ERD measuring when you have your rim + desired nipples :nerd_face:
