Wheels have to built right... if you don't no what your doing leave it for someone who knows how to build them...if you want to try it yourself, you can do a search on the forum as there are lots of topics on this.....

ps. put where you live on your profile because if you live close, i could build them for you..

Everything you could ever want know about how to build a wheel using the standard 3 cross lacing pattern for a 36 hole wheel:

As for doing the dishing just get it to a reasonable tension, stick it in your bike and dish it so it's even between the stays/fork legs.

Something else to bare in mind, if you have a different rim and/or hub to your last build you will need to buy new spokes. Even if the build is exactly the same unless you really have to use the old spokes I would strongly advise against it especially if the rims are brand new. The old spokes will have stretched unevenly, especially the rear ones, making it nigh on impossible to get even tension around the wheel ultimately resulting in a sub-optimal strength build. Believe me, i've tried using old spokes and the wheel would never stay true, the small saving (36 spokes is only £8 from CRC) is really not worth the extra hassle.

Hope that helps
