wheel building problems

<< < (2/3) > >>

gareth1978:
when i tried lacing the rear wheel one side was fine but on the other side the last four spokes just would not reach the hub
and ive read every fookin tip and still no luck

se-bmxer:
is the one side that you laced 3 cross? and are the nipples long to give you an idea long reach nipples are 20mm long

also take a photo and post it

gareth1978:
yes one side is laced up 3 across

ive striped the wheel in fustration but heres a pic of the nipple

uummm  unusual they should be fine, have you measure the spokes to make sure there 184mm
as i've built loads of Ukai's with suzue small flange hubs using 184mm spokes but they are tight
to do. 194mm are the prefered choice

gareth1978:
could i lace them up two across
