Title: Front wheel fustration....help please
Post by: slurp on October 14, 2007, 02:17 PM: fellas i have been following Stidds how to build wheels and finishing my the rear with no probs i set about the front,it is now on its 5th relace as i keep getting every 4th spoke too long to tighten down.Its a pro class rim with bullseye hub with 194mm spokes which i believe should be ok for a 3x lace.The annoying thing is ive now scratched the powder coated rim which is a right cheese ache.Can anyone tell me where im going wrong before the whole thing gets launched!!!!!!

cheers
