  1. Hi there I was in the middle of building a QU-AX 10 spline hub onto the
    QU-AX DB-45 (48h) rim and I was horrified to discover the spokes are
    too long ๐Ÿ™.

    Does anyone know what the effective rim diameter (E.R.D) of the QU-AX
    DB-45 is because I think that's why I have the wrong spoke length?

    - I did try and measure it myself, so I could calculate the spoke
    length. I made the E.R.D 367mm (+/- 3mm), but it was very inaccurate.

    And now I'd just like to rant, a few unicycle companies annoy me so
    much because they have poor technical information, like cut away
    diagrams, measurments and part no.s ie. NONE!

    Decent bike companies like Truvativ, Hope and Middleburn have them so
    why doesn't QU-AX, Kris Holm, Monty or Onza (they're the worst their
    main website doesn't even have their uni on it!)?

    if they are only a little too long just grind them down or cut them*

    NO ONE TO BLAME FOR YOURSELF ON THIS ONE

    EMAIL WAS INVENTED FOR A REASON. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL YOU IF
    YOU ASK.

    Decent bike companies like Truvativ, Hope and Middleburn have them so
    why doesn't QU-AX, Kris Holm, Monty or Onza (they're the worst their
    main website doesn't even have their uni on it!)?

    onza, monty and possibly qu-ax are bike trials companys so of course
    they wont have their uni on it. and why do you need a cutaway diagram
    of the rim or any other part. because especially with the rim the
    design is so similiar to others...

  3. it may be similar, but it's not the same, a few mm difference in the
    E.R.D can totally screw up the spoke length as it has In my case the
    spokes I'm using are at least 3mm too long.

    I might just extend the thread and cut them down.

    I never said I needed a cut away diagram of the rim, but other parts
    would be nice like the hub and spacer arangement.
