32 hole hubs - why not?

I'll have some done in the fall. Want to try a prototype in september? I
need a couple people to put 'em through hell. I don't know if you can
keep it though 🙁

It makes finding rims hard. Almost all bike trials rims are 32 hole.
Why make hubs 36 holed? Does the 4 extra really make any difference?

I was just thinking the same thing. It would be good if there was
unicycle hubs 32 holed especially the geared hubs so you could put it
on a really lightweight rim like a narrow 700c one. I don't think there
is any point of getting a 29" when you could get a lighter 28" (except
the puncture protection helps).

Yes, it is a good question. Less spokes weight less also, and not
everyone needs a super strong rim. Anyways, maybe in time.

More space for you toes to get stuck in..?

Some of the 32 holed trials rims do look quite pretty.

It pisses me off that there is a wealth of beautiful mod rims out there
that only comes in 32 holes.

Take a look at these:
http://www.trials-uk.co.uk/product.aspx?productid=1393

They are said to be very sturdy by many hard bike trials riders. They
have thick walls that can take a beating.
I really like the offset spoke holes and the weight (345g), but can't
lace it to any unicycle hub (32H only).

Every product has it's history in the market. Unicycles are a tiny
niche. I will hazard a guess that because uni and bike hubs must be
different, our spokes are different.

I am just guessing really, but having a different number may have
helped prevent errors in parts interchangeability. Uni hubs get this
pack of spokes, bikes another.

Many 32 hole mod rims available here in NZ too, but only two 36 hole mod
rims that I know of. Seems a bit silly.

Its possible to lace a 36 hole hub into a 32 hole rim 😉 This rim will
be on my new uni.

Not to take the wind out of your sails if you're an equipment weenie,
but I'd rather have a ton of hubs to choose from that all have the same
number of holes, rather than having to make sure my hub will match up
to my rim. 🙂

Okay, now that I've gotten that out of the way I'll reminisce to the
fact that the old, hard-to-kill Schwinns never had anything but 28
spokes. They did all right, though there was no such thing as Trials
back then. So maybe 32 would be all right.

But given the choice, I'll stick with indestructible over light any
day. But I'm not everybody.

Just as SmilyMarco said, isn't it possible to just lace it and have 4
extra holes...?

Or is there some law of physics that forbids that 😕

I do big sets and drops all the time, and that really warps my KH 07
rim, so id be glad to test your equipment for you and see how it holds
up.

EDIT: Do you have both rim and hub being made? I remember you talking
about some stuff a while ago, but I dont remember the details of it.

No, I'm going to be using a DOB magnesium rim on mine, rims are too hard
to make for me, as I have no way of extruding them. If I could I'd be
all over it though! I think the DOB rims are the lightest of all mod
rims, yet they are still hella strong.

Also, Peter, I'm only gonna make a couple proto's, and I think the
second one I'm gonna give to sponge so thet maybe Joe will help destroy
it.

I'll make production ones Jerrick. They don't cost me much, but I
haven't thought of pricing yet. I might do a run of about twenty if I
go with CNCing them.
