Gemini wheels

[DieselTech]

I got my wheels 2 weeks ago.
Any of the 3 hole sprockets work provided the center hole is 55mm or more.

Thanks I appreciate it. How does your wheel quality look? I'm not worried about it, just curious.

The quality is very good. All the machine work is clean.

I’d like to set up hydraulic brakes with the single hand dual pull. Hope Tech makes a set up but it’s $400.
There’s cheaper ones on eBay for dual front. I was wondering if that would work with some sort of regulator for front/rear.

I was getting ready to ask you if the front wheel was a dual disc brake wheel. You could have lines made & buy a distribution block & use a single pull hydrualic hand lever. Then at the distribution block you could set up your brake bias to control both front calipers & the rear caliper all at once. Of course you would need the front brake line built with a "T" or a "Y" for your dual disc & both lines off the T or Y need to be the same length.

The front Gemini wheels are set up for dual disc

Actually the real name would be a brake proportioning vavle, not a distribution block.

You can get hydraulic calipers that are cable actuated, no proportioning valve and two cables on the same handle.

I have that set up now… cable pull hydraulic…on my front brake.

I was looking for the full hydraulic to run pit bike calipers and disc.

@Nickt919 when you get time, would you do me a favor & measure your spoke diameter on your new Gemini wheels. Are they 2.9mm or 3.2mm? Thanks a million! I'm lost on what I want to do on a new set of wheels. Build or buy?

Spoke diameter is 2.9mm
