Building a 28 x 1-1/2 wheel for a Burgers E.N.R. step-through
Hello!
I recently acquired a 1932 (I believe) Burgers E.N.R. Model 58 Omafiets step-through. However, the original wheels were long gone and had been replaced by 26s.
I'm planning to build some new wheels, and I ordered some appropriate rims (made by Schothorst) from Holland:
Unfortunately, I can't find the ERD anywhere online. I'd really like to order some spokes so that when the rims (eventually) arrive, I'll be ready to build.
Does anyone know the ERD for these rims?
Thanks,
James

Nice project! I would just wait until you have the rims in hand -- then you can measure them yourself and know that the spokes will be the right length when you order.

I know you're probably ht to get going, but spoke delivery is pretty fast. So why gamble on a guess (even a good guess) when you can measure and be sure.
