3 cross or 4 cross

<< < (2/3) > >>

I've used the spoke length calculator on here.
You can select rims/hubs from drop down boxes, or input the data into he boxes.

Four cross means follow one spoke line and it should cross four other spokes. Your wheel is laced 4 cross, you have missed one intersection nearest the hub.

SaMAlex:
Your pic isnt right. You have missed off a red oval on the tiny cross right at the hub. They bearly even "cross" but it counts

The green oval isnt to do with the "Cross". Thats just cos they are laced in mirrored pairs.

It just so happens that I have 4 (New school) wheels in my car today, and they are ALL 3 cross!

moley:
Pick a spoke and see how many other spokes it crosses on the same side as the hub!!

If its 3 its 3 and if its 4 its 4.

4 cross will use longer spokes because the hub will be twisted more than 3 cross!!

3 cross pattern


4 cross pattern

kuwahero:
in simple terms

3 cross - goes under two spokes and over one

4 cross - goes under three spokes and over one

on same side of hub
