moving from a Nankai to geisha light...couple of questions

[LOU4130]

So ive decided to get a geshia light freecoaster. I was going to switch out my 12t on my nankai and get a profile shell for it when it dawned on me i could just buy a new geisha light hub for less money and have the sealed bearings and aluminum shell whch is stll lighter than the nankai.

But anyway, has anyone made the switch from the nankai to the geshia and was able to use their existing spokes? I wanna make sure if i need em i get em when i order the hub. This is of course using the same lace pattern and existing rim. Thanks guys!

you really should order more spokes since your old ones have allready been tight and rode on,you could use old ones but its allways better to rock new ones on new hub

I made that switch a few months ago, I've been real happy with the geisha. The drive side and non-drive flanges on the geisha lite are different diameters, spokes from your old wheel will not work. I second indybarber's comment also.

Thank you gentlemen lol

i will get new ones when i order the hub

i knew new ones are always best, i was just hoping it would work for now too save cash.....but i totally forgot the flanges on the geisha light hub are 2 diff sizes...glad i asked lol
