Good luck Ed, Make sure the spokes come out of the rim holes the right way, Seen a few rims with angled holes with the spokes wrong.

That was my 'school boy error' Gary  ;D

I did one wrong... but you soon spot it when theres no hole for the spoke in your hand!

cheers

...oh.. and I was so happy! inexperience showing through now  ::)



I didn't read Joff NORTY40's advice with full 'understanding' ... he advised going 4x and said that 194 spokes would be good.

I did 3x  ::)

and all the spoke are too long  :)

OBVIOUSLY I understand NOW which is LIFE... and the way I have always done things  ;D

rebuild time  :4_17_5:

So what changes with a 4x build? obviously it crosses 4 spokes but is the rest the same?
