Smoby Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Ok, so i was an idiot.. I took apart my wheel being REALLY bored after becoming grounded..Hoping to know what i was doing, build it back, i failed.Ok, I didn't count amount of crosses before hand, but I'm guessing its 3, i tried two and it wasn't having none of it, spokes were bout 1cm out of the end..So, any help with building the wheel with 28 spokes with a 3 cross.Thanks In AdvancedCraig .

Revolver Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Where did you get the spokes from?When I bought spokes from tarty they were pre-cut for a 3cross wheel.I dunno how you'd solve your problem, though. Try 4cross?I've only ever built one wheel, 32spoke, 3cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 What do you need to know?If they were about 1cm too long with 2x then its 99% likely to be a 3x build. Search the FAQ's for OBM's wheel building guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
