One 36 spoke wheel laced in 3 mins 47 secs only the third I've done too, proves how easy it is if you just give it a try!  :daumenhoch:

an average of 6.3 seconds to pick up a spoke, put it through a hub hole, pick up a nipple, locate it in the rim, thread it onto the spoke and wind it down...and that includes crossing the spokes.

Impressive

That's some going mate  :daumenhoch:

Took me 3 1/2 hours to do my first one , spokes in ....... spokes out ...... start again etc  ::)  :D

Never timed myself yet but I reckon 15/20 mins per rim for me  :-\   My next wheel build will be against the clock though  ;D
