trials hoe Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 right, so i'm thinking of wacking a radial pattern on the non-disc side of my front wheel (3x/4x on the disc side) and was unsure of the direction of the head of the spokes, should they face in or out? or does it not matter? any difference of the two (in or out)? cheers guys chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Virtually no difference between the two. Depending on the hub you're using, heads in will make it easier to lace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 echo tr* should have said that :$ , they're a pig to lace on the non-disc side down to the diameter of the disc side flange (heads facing out). heads in it is! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 If you've got something like a roll of sellotape or similar you can use that to put a gentle bend into them if you need to to help ease it past the flange*. With the drilled out flange on the TR hub though you should be cool to just fire them through from the disc side. *That's what she said.

Maxx Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Face out look better, but face in theorically give you more lateral stiffness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Face out look better, but face in theorically give you more lateral stiffness. that depends so much on the other sides pattern... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah I was visualing front hs33 wheel don't know why. Of course face out will also reduce spokes tension on this side (for the same tension on the right). The best would be to have same tension on both faces.
