hey i want to build a wheel with a 16 hole rim very deep (a lot like a campagnolo shamal) any way if any one has input on this give me a comment. is it strong? safe? also is it posable to do a 16 hole rim to a 36 hole rim? -

I think it's unsafe -

The concern would be ripping up the flanges on the hub because the tension will be so much higher. See if the hub is available in a 16h variety. If it is, it's probably hefty enough to handle it. Really, though, I'd avoid it if I had the option. -

16 hole rim to 32 hole hub : http://velospace.org/node/4886 totally fine works great. -

I've mismatched before, mine was a 36h hub to a 24h rim, just skipped every 3rd spoke, looked perfectly fine, you have to fine tune your spoke measurements, but other than that no big deal. -

^Wow, I never thought of that!
Sorry to "change the subject" but I got a 74 Schwinn trike w/24h hubs. I got some 36h-26" Worksmen wheel sets & have wanted to lace onto those hubs for some time now so I wouldn't have to mess with those dammed Schwinn sized wheels. I'm going to have to make sure everythings is as I think it is, but if this works out, I think you may have just salved my problem for me!
Any advice?
