GM 700c Rim measurements
I wanted a matching rim for the other wheel so I ordered a rim from Golden Motor, Canada.
http://www.goldenmotor.ca/products/Golden-Motor-700c-Rim.html(
comes with one piece rubber rim tape labeled '26x20 MADE IN CHINA 123')
GM does not provide the dimensions for the rim. So before ordering new spokes I need to measure the rim. The attached file has those measurements to the best of my ability with a digital and steel tape measure. The profile shown in the tube cavity should be fairly accurate. The profile shown in the nipple cavity is what is know as a "
wild ass guess". The zip file contains DWG and PDF format files.
I am also building a wheel truing stand from 8020 Inc. aluminum extrusions. It is designed to be build with common hand tools, strong enough for any bicycle wheel (
including fat bikes, hub motors, rims up to 29er's with tires) and to be rigid enough for accurate dishing. I will include more info on that later.
EDIT: correct spoking diameter
