Brian Bleech Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hey dudes Gonna be building a new front wheel up this week (with the help of kev) and to get decent spokes. I have had to go for four cross! now we can build a three cross wheel no probs, but neither of us have done a four cross one before is it literally just a case of going one hole further over or is there anything random i have to watch out for (Y) mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 is it literally just a case of going one hole further over ← (Y) Go 'over, over, over, under' for 4x, instead of 'over, over, under' as you would for 3x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 cheers dude (Y) i was wondering about the over over under stuff too :) mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hititfaster Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I had the same problem with my rear wheel, and: Go 'over, over, over, under' for 4x, instead of 'over, over, under' as you would for 3x. ← ^^^ That's what I would have said, only he put it better (Y) Also, I found that if you put all the spokes in one side then lace it up, rather than doing one at a time it's easier. Overall I think 4x is a moose to do (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
