Spoking Alloy Rim. Is this right????
bof:
Yep, sorry but I reckon it has been built wrong, its nearly there though. ;)
phantom photon:
Yes, you have done it wrong. The spokes are coming in from the wrong sides ;)
You will need to undo them all and start again I'm afraid
NORTY40:
Sorry to say mate but it's defo wrong :(
The spokes next to the valve hole should lean away from it , ;) yours are leaning in.
Place the rim flat with the valve hole at 12 o'clock. One of the holes either side of the valve hole should be offset towards the top of the rim, i always make sure this is on the LHS, this may involve turning the rim over. This is the hole you should start lacing from :daumenhoch:
Tell you what , I will send you a couple of links 2moz :daumenhoch:
