I doubt that there is any special internal shaping to suit the spoke ends which is the most likely issue. Even if there is, they look like bladed spokes which make life a bit easier.
If it were me I'd be happy to just get a rim of the right depth and drilling and give it a try.
Cheers,
Cameron

Shimano hubs use straight pull spokes. They are very expensive. Shimano rims are also usually offset (asymmetric).ironhanglider wrote:At first glance there doesn't look to be any magic in the rim.

Low spoke count ones are, like the WH-R 560. Many higher spoke count hubs (like 32 spoke) still use J spokes.biker jk wrote:Shimano hubs use straight pull spokes. They are very expensive. Shimano rims are also usually offset (asymmetric).

If you still like low spoke count wheels, then buy another one for the rear. If you'd prefer something that lasts longer, then it might be worth getting a higher spoke count wheel which usually have cheaper part replacement prices as well.foo on patrol wrote:Ok people, my rear wheel has a split 1cm each side of the nipple. Will it be cheaper for me to buy a new set of wheels or get this one re built. The hub is WH-R 560 and still runs smooth.

I agree with the spokes, however Foo hasn't mentioned a problem with these, I'd expect that he intends to re-use them. The rims looked to be a simple V shape like the R500 wheels which I used to own. This document
shows a symmetric rim and I saw somewhere that it was a 24mm depth. As long as you can find some at 20h drilling (I have a helpful contact if necessary) I stand by my previous statement, they don't look to be anything really unusual.

If you look at the diagram you linked, under spoke replacement it looks like an offset rim. Also my old 105 wheel has an offset rim as can be seen below.ironhanglider wrote:The rims looked to be a simple V shape like the R500 wheels which I used to own. This document

Mine dont appear to be asymmetric.

So as said, it looks like your only cost effective option is a whole new wheel.

If he keeps the spokes he needs to find a rim with the same ERD and also bear in mind the spoke lengths are based on an offset rim. Cheaper to buy a new wheelset.ironhanglider wrote:biker jk wrote:Shimano hubs use straight pull spokes. They are very expensive.

The document showed a symmetrical rim with an offset drilling, much the same as the vast majority of rims that I have come across. Unfortunately the picture doesn't show whether this is to the right or left side nor a comparison to the other side.Nobody wrote:If you look at the diagram you linked, under spoke replacement it looks like an offset rim.

Edit: Grammar.
This is an offset rim.
I can't see the offset in your picture due to the flare but a variation in alignment of the holes by a mm or two is not going to make more than a fraction of a mm difference in spoke length. Spokes typically have a useful adjustment range of several mm.
There are not radical differences in the thickness of the aluminium used to make rims, nor are there radical differences in the height from the bead seat to the outside diameter of the rim. Therefore the same rim depth will give a rim of a similar ERD, (at least within 2mm. assuming both rims are a similar construction). There is greater variation in the way different people measure ERD, some simply give the inner diameter, others inner diameter + thickness of materialx2, some to the bottom of the groove in the nipple and some to the top of the groove. I have seen 5mm differences in ERD for the same rim depending on who is doing the measuring. Unless you are doing the measuring yourself it is a leap of faith to trust someone else. The overall rim height is at least consistently measured accurately. As an example the top rim on this page would go close. I've bought rims from them before and they have been willing to do special drillings (although I was buying 4 40 spoke rims and other stuff at the same time)biker jk wrote: If he keeps the spokes he needs to find a rim with the same ERD and also bear in mind the spoke lengths are based on an offset rim. Cheaper to buy a new wheelset.
For Foo I suspect that he'd be building the wheel himself which would make this an option. If not then I agree that a new wheel set is almost always cheaper. Deon's offerings appear to be well liked and well supported.

Yes it is like the Velocity rim. Admittedly hard to see in the photo as it was supposed to be of the hub, but I just felt the profile and it is steep on one side and shallow on the other. According to Peter White Cycles an off center rim is not necessary for a Shimano hub, but still a good idea.ironhanglider wrote:This is an offset rim.
