munkee Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Its going to die on the back build it 3 cross... i.e. so each spoke crosses 3 others before it goes to the hub/rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Sorry about quality Its going to die on the back build it 3 cross... i.e. so each spoke crosses 3 others before it goes to the hub/rimIt is 3 across just all inwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Sorry about quality It is 3 across just all inwards you should have alternated inside outside inside outside when putting the spokes into the hub.If it matter's im not sure, I personally would have thought the differance in terms of stress would be negligable, but i'd ask someone who knows a bit about wheel building.

Ali C Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 built 5 (I think) wheels at work the other day, I am not yet perfect, need to get my up/down truing a bit better, so at the mo I get Adam tart to finnish them off, he is the perfect wheel building teacher!I did cock one up today though, had to start again, but it was cool in the end (dam two cross!)

Mat Smith! Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Me and my mate built his front weel at 2 in the morning without a spoke tool and the wrong sized spokes, and its still running strong to this day .Not really that hard, its the truing bit which is hard, but its ok just tweaking if it starts rubbing abit.Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
