Hi I hope someone can translate this for me .
I am looking for a set of spoke wheels for my cx 500 c I have seen many here and thought that they may be available in your country , or if you know of a kit that is available that would work as well.
Thanks
Sean

Hello Sean,

sorry, no kit available as far as I know. All spoke wheels (4) I've seen here were done by the owners themselves.

cheers, Frans

This is the only one I know (Floris)

This is how Floris has done his spokes:
You start with the hubs, you take them from the original CX wheels.Next you choose the rims you want to use, secondhand or new ones. Be sure not to pick to extreme ones, because of the space between the vorks (130mm at the back, 110mm at the front) This because the max. width of the tires. You'll need inertubes, take notice of that!
Then you'll have to find some craftsman, who can make disks for you from 5mm steel.
For the rearwheel you need 2 rings ø270mm outside, and ø190mm on the inside.
The frontwheel will need two rings ø160mm for the outside, and ø95mm for the inside.
For rims with 40 holes you need to drill 20 holes per ring for the spokes. Be sure to drill the holes as you can see on the pictures and be sure to taper the angle of the disk's, otherwise the spokes will break eventually.
Take the rims and rings and hubs to someone who can do the spokes for you.
And to rob you from your last penny's, add some new rubber to the rims (with innertubes!)
