TROYston Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Try 4xIf not get a spoke size smaller.If the hub size is different on one flange, use a 4x on the larrge side and 3x on the smaller one.Hope that helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 it gose 2 spokes stick out to much then 2 normal then 2 stick out to much all the way around some help please ..Means you've laced it wrong... One side of spokes is one hole 'out' in relation to the other side. Check the lacing again, right from the first spoke.Usually easier to strip it and start again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 the holes are ofset do i have to cross over say left side of hun to right side of spokes?Nah, just lace it correctly 'Red' spoke should be in 'blue' position (and then all the spokes on that side of the hub need to go round the rim the same distance). Easiest way is to re-lace.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
