New Torker DX Hub Trials Uni Built

I just compleated building my new trials uni with the torker dx hub and 127mm cranks that I bought from Jaguar this winter. I built the wheel and frame myself, I built the wheel with a four cross pattern lacing the spokes under the third cross and over the fourth. It turned out great, the hold up was getting a 19" rim with 48 spoke holes but UDC has them now and they are calling it a nimbus rim. It apears to be of a good quality and has reinforced nipple eyelets. The spokes I ordered were too long, I didn't have the rim so I had the spoke length calculated by UDC and the tag said that they were 178mm 4 cross, and they were about a quarter of an inch too long so I called and told them I needed them to be 174mm and they sent a second set at no charge. When I got them I pulled out one spoke to compare lengths and they were exactly the same length. This time I measured them and it turns out they were 174mm so the first set was mislabled. I didn't want to wait for a third set to be sent and I was able to find 170mm spokes from a local bike shop. I hope I can send back the second set of spokes for a refund but I haven't talked to them yet.

I will post a picture as soon as I can, I don't have a digital camera of my own so it may be a few days.

Cheers, Dan.
