Well, the rear wheel is proving to be a pain in the glutes. I have a manual which says 7.5" and 8.5" spokes are required for my original 9" rim. However, Buchanans sent me 8" and 8.5" spokes. I told them it was different than my manual says and they stated convincingly that they were right, not the manual. Well, now I have too much length on some of the spokes but when I contacted Buchanan they said I laced it wrong. Th e problem is I have the original parts manual and it shows it being correct the way I laced them.
Can one of you experts, Hennesy or others, take a look at the pics and see if I am missing something?
