Any special instructions for lacing a MP5?
« on: September 19, 2017, 10:39:57 PM »
The rims provided by GM are insufficient for my needs, so I'll need to buy an unlaced motor and have a LSB lace up a proper rim for me.  Are there any guidelines or specifications that I need to pass along?

Hi Mike andto the forum.

The Magic Pie 5 hub incorporates a slightly unorthodox spacing of the spoke holes on the flanges to produce a more acceptable spoke angle where the spokes enter the rim.

I suggest you take a look at this post for some useful information required to obtain the correct length of the required spokes.
