4x wheel building???

<< < (2/3) > >>

hokuspokus74:
i followed that link and for the 4x the spokes dont reach now alot of the nipples are sitting high in the rim,yet they are the correct spoke length 194mm,so i doubt i got to pay a shop approx £33-50 to do my rims and i have another 5-6 sets to do,so i dont know what i have done wrong as i tried to keep the nipples as loose as possible,and that was watching a guy on youtube so it goes to show how thick i am:/

hokuspokus74:

There only difference between a 3x and 4x wheel is that 3x is over 2 spokes and under 1 and 4x is over 3 spokes and under 1.

Other than that it is the same.
