you can't fook them up really
-the only thing you can get wrong, is from where you start-the way in which the nipple points from the rim towards the hub
-and putting the spokes through the right way
:LolLolLolLol:
-the 'trick' is to have an already done wheel and putting the new bare rim over it, with the hub, to get the first set of spoekes in

cool will let you know how i get on soon as I source spokes, google only hits me up with us stockists who want $48 per 100 so thats $96 plus silly p & p ouch
-
Im sorry to say this but that infamous bmx dealer in wigan is one of the only places to get spokes the right length, I looked for ages but he was the only person who had them. Look under spokes and they are listed for 1 3/8th wheels.
Good luck just take your time and follow the instructions on this forum.
