Im lacing DID rims to my oem KX450 hubs and changing the rear to an 18”. I was sent a Bulldog spoke kit that was supposed to work but apparently it doesn’t. Some spokes were way too long. Apparently the kit has 4 different length spokes. The oem spokes are 27 same and 9 slightly longer for inner brake side. I assumed the spokes for an 18” should be the same but about 1/2 inch short all around but after lacing it clearly was no good.
the spoke package didn’t have a part number and each set of 9 were labeled where they go. I emailed who they came from but am just curious to maybe see if anyone else encountered similar or am I missing something?
I'm assuming you got these spokes from Dubya? I just went through this with a set of Bulldog spokes I got from Dubya last week, but for a KTM wheel. They sent a set of 27/9 that was supposed to be right but were just too long. I called and they quickly sent the correct spokes and a return label for the incorrect ones.
I got them from KSR wheels but the spoke nipples have the dubya marking. I assume what I got is for an aftermarket hub. I checked Excels application chart and nothing requires 3 or 4 different lengths. Hopefully he gets back to me today.
