Hi. Any experienced wheelbuilders out there?
I'm having trouble lacing up a small flange front hub, to a right-hand, 28 hole rim. Spokes are cross 3, straight pull. The lacing pattern I want is non-symmetrical, i.e., track style.
I must have a mental block - right hand rims give me big headaches. I have the first 7 inside spokes in place, but am not sure how to start the other side's 7 inside spokes. So I've laced in the 7 outside spokes, on the other side, hence now have 14 spokes in place, but probably it's gonna turn out wrong.
Perhaps the problem is that I'm trying European style method with an American style rim. Very frustrating. This wheel is very urgent too. So embarrassing, other wheels are no problem at all. This one I just can't grasp. I can get it laced, but the valve hole will be in the wrong place. Wish I had a sample wheel to copy from .
