    How to Build a 36 Spoke Bicycle Wheel

    How to build a 36 spoke bicycle wheel. You’ll need: Hub & rim (for 36 spokes) 36 spokes & nipples. Spoke wrench & small flat screwdriver) How it’s done: 1.1) Insert spokes into every other hole on one side of the hub - spokes turning towards hub. 1.2) Locate the valve hole (the only hole larger than the others). Insert a random spoke into the hole right next to the valvehole, on the right side and screw on a nipple - be Figure 1.2 sure to only screw on a few turns, using your fingers or a small screwdriver Insert the next spoke into the forth hole, from the one you’ve just used. (See figure 1.2) 1 2 Flip “wheel”. 2.1) As 1.1, but be sure to place the spokes, just right of the spokes on the other side of the hub. This part is very important. 2,2) Insert spokes, starting at the valvehole (again), just right of the spokes from the other side. (See figure 2.2) Figure 2.2 3 Flip “wheel”. 3.1) Insert spokes in the last 9 holes. This time away from the hub. 3.2) Twist hub towards left. Spokes will turn left towards the rim, instead of straight. Follow the pattern “Over, over, under and skip a hole” (there’ll be only two holes left for the spoke to fit in) to insert the spokes in the rim. The spokes should turn the opposite direction of the ones already in the rim. (See figure 3.2) Figure 3.2 Over red and blue, under red, skip a hole.

Beginnings of Bicycle Manufacturing in Austria and Weishaupt Verlag • www.weishaupt.at Styria (1885 – 1889) High wheel bicycles first appeared in Austria-Hungary in 1880. Since they were originally imported from England, they were called “bicycles”. The word Fahrrad came later (though in Swiss German, Velo became the established term). Regular production of high wheel bicycles in Austria-Hungary began in Jan Kohout’s factory for agricultural machines in Smíchov, near Prague, in 1880, following English designs. Kohout’s sons Josef and Petr made a name for themselves and the bicycles as successful racers. Smaller makers before 1885, such as Valentin Wiegele in Korpitsch near Villach, only became known locally. In Vienna, Karl Greger’s Velociped-Fabrik started making high wheel bicycles in 1884 under the brand name ‘Austria’; the annual output seems to have reached 300–400 bicy- cles. In 1896, Greger was mentioned as “the oldest bicycle factory of Austria and one of the largest on the continent”, and as “ founder of the bicycle industry in Austria-Hunga- ry”. At about the same time as Greger, Carl Goldeband and the sewing-machine factory of H. Wagner also began making bicycles in Vienna. In the years from 1885 to 1889, there is good evidence that bicycles were also being made by Mathias Allmer, Josef Benesch und Josef Eigler in Graz, Johann Jax in Linz, Josef Fritsch in Eger (Cheb), Julius Mickerts und Otto Schäffler in Vienna, Nicolaus Heid in Stockerau, near Vienna and G.
