OK, does anybody have any idea why spokes cross over and physically touch due to the deliberate threading of a spoke under the last spoke as it heads towards the rim ?
eg 3 cross passes clearly away from the first two crossings, but the final passes on the other side of the cross spoke.
I naively thought that avoiding contact with the other spokes would prevent a stress point where they touch each other.
Can anybody give reasoning why wheels are laced this way ?
Cheers Ray
