I am e-mail Tim to see if he has any in stock. lol.

Im gonna keep looking for the 48rim to 36hub lacing pattern tomorrow. I
hope I find one.

I'm heading off to school now but I know http://www.sheldonbrown.com/
has exactly what you are looking for. The complete explanation of how
to do it. It sounded really complicated but they did figure out a way
to build a wheel properly with mismatched hole counts. I think they
even made it equaly strong but I might be wrong on that one.

might know

Found it, http://www.sheldonbrown.com/mismatch/index.htm

That should let you know everything there is about building mismatched
wheels.

Thanks. =p

I was on that site before I went to bed but must of missed seeing the
mismatched section. :o

I'm not certain, but I would think that lacing a 36 hole hub to a 48
hole rim would create lots of problems. In all of the mismatched
lacings on Sheldon's site, the hub has more holes than the rim, which
allows you to use every hole on the rim to keep it strong. But if the
hub is the limiting factor, then you'll have empty spaces on your rim.
I'm no engineer (yet), but I think that would be a huge problem
strengthwise.

*EDIT*
Another thought occured to me. To keep all of the spokes evenly spaced
around the wheel (which I assume would make it stronger) you would need
to skip every fourth hole on the rim, but every fourth hole on the Alex
DX rim is offset to the same side. Good luck. 🙂 My advice would be
to look 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/yc2sys).

I would like to not have to buy a new rim though. If I have to, it will
be a VIZ rim, which I may have to order from Honk Kong. lol

Yes, it's possible, but as said earlier, some holes would have to be
skipped, meaning that the overall tension of the wheel would be "off"
on some parts of the wheel. it would be a uniform "off", but "off"
none the less. One of the most important factors of a strong wheel is
uniform spoke tension(and uni wheels are tensioned tighter than a
standard bicycle wheel, which adds to the mix), and I'm afraid that
lacing a 36h hub to a 48h rim would be a compromise...and lets face it,
you want a bad-ass wheel, not a so-so wheel. Return the 48h rim if you
can, if not put it on the trading board and put the $ towards a nice
strong 36h rim. I think in the long run, you'll be happy you did. By
the way, Sheldon is a very approachable guy...and he loves giving
answers to odd-ball questions. I'd bet "lacing a 36h hub to a 48h rim
on a unicycle" question would make his day. Send him an email, but I'm
guessing he may tell you the same thing I did.

Best of luck!🙂

Thanks Guster. =p

Actually, just a few mins ago, me and him were talking about lacing the
hub, and he mentioned what you said.

Because of the lengths of spokes I would have to buy, the weird
pattern, the strength not being high enough, I am gonna buy the
Anodized blue VIZ rim.

36 eyelets, drilled to save weight, 46mm wide, a nice blue color, then
I will buy blue VIZ nipples and probably get DT spokes from my bike
shop. Do a nice 3-cross pattern and end up with a beautiful blue trials
wheelset.

personally I think you should get the VHI rim instead. its a bit wider
than the VIZ and it doesnt have the brake line.

ZHI Rims are 32 holed, and 38 or 48mm wide. Thats only 2mm wider than
the VIZ.

I also wouldnt want to do a 32rim to a 36hub lacing.

Not worth the 60 dollars+shipping for it.

Whenever considering a spoking job you need to realize *only half of
your spokes are helping to pull your unicycle forward*--while the other
half are actually sabotaging your effort by pulling BACKWARDS!!!

The result is, with old fashioned wheels, you actually get NO BENEFIT
WHATSOEVER from your spokes, since the pull of the pulling spokes is
cancelled out by the backward pull on the static spokes!

Check out Sheldon Brown's new spoking system at

Sounds like a plan! You mentioned blue Viz nipples...which means they
are anodized, which means they are aluminum, right? I'm sure they are
strong, but you are dealing w/ a uni wheel at a higher tension than a
trials bikes wheels. I had a set of 48's on my street bike a while ago
that a friend built up. Good wheelbuilder....he built my mtb's front
wheel and it's unstoppable. He advised me against aluminum nipples on
the 48's, but I wouldn't listen(ever seen green nipples on a black rim?
It looks sweet...I couldn't help myself). I paid the price...those
nipples always stripped, and I'd have to pull the tire off to replace
them(pain in the ass just to look good).

BRASS NIPPLES...trust me on this one.

Good luck!

Ive only seen these in my dreams, never thought they actually
existed!!

I'll have to start robbing graves to get the 3000 dollars, but its
worth it!
