  • 18 in. Rear hub lace up pattern 1938

    I'm having issues with the correct lace up on a '38 rear hub and wheel. It's a 18 inch repop rim, spokes and hub all from from Greer's, the spokes are Buchanan's sold through Greer and I confirmed they are the correct set/part number. I was told the 18 inch is a 1 over 4 lace pattern. If anyone has a 18 inch Rear rim they can look at and give my the correct lace pattern it would be very helpful.

    Looking at it from the Non-brake side, Valve Stem marked with blue tape. I need to know what is spoke #1, 2, 3, 4. and I should be able to figure it out from there.


    Merry Christmas and Thanks,
    ~B

        That is a rim for a 45" front wheel.

          As I stated earlier, "All the parts came from Greer's" maybe you should tell them they are selling 45" parts.
