I think I might just swap out the alienations for something else, I emailed Alienation hoping for the correct spoke length(i gave them hub measurements) and they said they couldnt do it. If its going to be extra hassle i might as well go for something else, all i know is that i need a hub that comes in 20mm that can convert to 9mm(like the syncros) and then a ss rear hub. I might just go with the hubs i have ordered in already, but any reccomendations on rims? possibly atomlabs i guess because i can order in the rims alone right?
If i could I would buy a pre-built wheelset, is there any prebuilt sets out there that are suitable for my riding?

More that should be on the end of my last paragraph:
Shane told me nothing is being ordered in until you guys are in the new shop so I can still change what i'm ordering. I just need something before spring because I don't want to miss any riding.

From what I've been told, it is a standard 3-cross just the spokes will have to be a bit longer to reach the opposite side of the rim. I emailed Alienation with some hub specs to figure out the length of spokes i need but they havent responded yet. I'm gonna shoot them another email I think. And last time I was at work(awhile ago) and we looked in the catalogue on the computer they didnt have the wheel i needed(SS aircorp on 24" Pimp) that was the big reason why i didnt order them. If they updated the catalogue or something and the wheel is in it I will go with that. Shane told me that nothing is being ordered in until you guys are in the new shop.

hey, i need a bit of help with wheels. i've given up on trying to get the atomlabs in cause it's almost spring. So i ordered in a dmr revolver rear hub, syncros front 20mm hub and some alienation runaway rims. I've heard great things about the rims so i checked them out and thought that i would try them out.

the rim is the runaway. I noticed today that it said that it uses a non-traditional center cross lacing pattern.
Should i still go with these rims?
P.S, think you could teach me how to build wheels? I know it's an inconvenience for you, so if you can't its alright.
