URGENT wheel advice needed.

(1/3) > >>

JT71:
okay folks with Sunday fast approaching it has come to my attention that I'm a tw4t, and in addition to that already well known fact I have built my rear wheel wrong.

its 4x pattern and it reasonably true and round but i forgot to pass the spoke under the last of the 4 spokes it crosses.

How serious is this?

pickle:
it means that as soon as you start pedalling.........the earth will stop spinning and we will all die! 

Longun:
It'll have marginally less lateral strength but as long as the spokes are tight you'll be fine for doing Sunday's cruise on it.
