Help please with these spokes

<< < (2/2)

TwoBobRob:
I built my wheels by mistake in this way - didnt send the spokes over and under.

I rode it for weeks without a problem before I could be arsed to rebuild them. And I do mean rode it.

As for a strength compromise, I'd say it would be neglegible. My understanding of it is that the spokes are likely to remain tight for longer if they are crossed over and under. Not that bigger a deal in my book.

wildwood1971:
3 cross over - over - over lacing - yes it could be argued that they are not quiet conventional over - over - under - but the vertical tension comes from how tight the spoke is.

Theres nothing wrong with the lacing pattern whats so ever and they will stay true for ages.
