Step 3Prepare the rim
Measure the width of the rim and divide by 2.
In this case the rim width is 28mm divided by 2 = 14mm.
Adjust your caliper to 14mm and lock it.
Gently mark the center of the rim between the nipple holes.
Make small lines so that in the final product they wont show up as much.
Measure the distance between 2 nipple holes and divide by 2, here that's 51mm divided by 2 is 25,5mm.
Mark the center between the nipple holes.
You can do this with the calipers top.
Use the center point to mark them for drilling.
Drill the holes with a 4mm drill or whatever size your holes are.
Debur the holes with a hand drill or a lager machine drill.
Don't forget the inside of the rim.
Now you are ready to build this wheel.
