    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How long are my spokes?

OK, so I got a really really really good deal on some alloy rims for my GS1000ST, 2.5 x 18 front and 3.5 x 18 rear "T" style rims, and I'm gonna lace them up to a pair of 1979 GS750E hubs. I can buy stainless steel spokes from the same supplier, but he wants to know the spoke length? Anyone know? Cheers, Terry. :twisted:
 
No real answer for ya, but a custom bike shop might be able to figure it out- I have had some weird combo's on some of my old Harley's and they always made them work so I'm guessing that there are specific measurements and a formula that can be used. Funny thing- not two days ago the thought of getting rid of my mags in favour of spokes crossed my mind! As usual good luck and keep us posted.
 
Thanks Wayne, and don't buy any rims yet, if these ones are any good I can buy plenty more, at unbelieveable prices! Cheers, Terry. :twisted:
