Spoking Alloy Rim. Is this right????

(1/2) > >>

Redline:
Hey guys,

I've only ever laced a Z rim before attempting this ukai rim, but I'm not sure if if done it right.

I think I've done what is called a 4-cross lacing system.. I think???

The issue I have is if you look at where the spokes meet the nipples it appears that the spoke is going in a different direction to the nipple and looks kinda strained if ya know what I mean.
I didn't have this issue with the Z rims as they don't have the dome shaped holes on the rim surface.

Have I done this wrong or somethin?

Have a look and let me know as I don't wanna do the other wheel until I'm sure I've done it right.

Cheers dudes  :daumenhoch:

anit got a clue, but spin the wheel and if it spins true its done.
youve done better than me,

stidds:
Looks fine John, you have done a 4x pattern there and this always pulls the nipples in the rim slightly I find.

bof:
It looks wrong to me , show me a picture of the valve hole area and it should give me a better idea.  :daumenhoch:

Redline:
Here's the valve area dude  :daumenhoch:
