Lacing a 36sp wheel

<< < (2/2)

Thanks for the reply stidds  :daumenhoch:
 The wheels are using small flange suzue hubs if that makes any difference to the lacing method.
 I've only just noticed that the heads of the spokes are all on the inside of the white wheel, the wheel i have is inbetween the blue and the white , this is the actual wheel below.
The Z rim has a flat in it at the 8 O'clock position were it looks like it's hit a kerb at sometime , i have another Z rim to replace it.
I can tru the rim no problem

snoopy72:
I'm going to go with the original lacing pictured above, am I right in saying that i will need lace all the spokes to the hub then drop the wheel rim over it to put he nipples in ?
 Building the wheels like the blue rims is easy, I can drop the spokes in the hub and lace one spoke at a time to the rim .

Munnyella:
easy way if doing a straight swap is put tape on all the spoke cross overs, undo the nips, jiggle it out of the rim, the jiggle it into the new one.

or do it properly, its dead easy.
