You can use a 36 hole rim on a 48 hole hub. A 48 spoke 19" is insane
overkill, and also very inconvenient. I can't imagine getting a pump
valve onto the nipple with the spoke spacing so small. Also, truing your
wheel will be a bizatch. If you want to turn a 48 hole hub into 36, just
have a hole between each spoke, so instead of
spoke-spoke-spoke-spoke-spoke, you have spoke-hole-spoke-hole-spoke. Get
it? Also, it's worthy of mentioning that someone could count on 1 hand
missing 5 fingers* how many people have taco-d a 36 spoke 19" wheel.

*Translation: Noone's ever taco'd a 36 spoke 19" rim. Not to mention,
even if someone has, it won't be you.

That doesn't sound right. That way you'd have a spoke in very other
hole, so in a 48 hole hub you'd only have 24 spokes. Don't you need to
miss out every 3rd spoke or something like that?

Ben,
48 hole hub plus 48 hole rim = cool (IMHO)
strong enough to carry a small car on, but it will look nice.

Make sure you have a good quality spoke key that will fit between the
spokes e.g.

Raspberry fool is cool.

i tacoed a 19 inch rim.
it was a monty rim on a profile hub.
trials wheels should be as strong as possible, imho.

having a trials setup with 127mm cranks would be nicer for street
riding.
i envy you.

maybe you'd like to swap for my profile/alex wheel? 145mm cranks.?
(not realy, i'll just save some cash and buy annother unicycle)
