i have a pair of Fishbone sealed 48 hubs and some Sun Big City rims to lace em to.......now i've fooked about trying to work out what size spokes i need and in the end i took em round to my local shop to do instead (yeah it'll cost me £40 but hey ho) anyways, they've called this morning saying that they don't think they'll work using a 4x pattern and said they would rather do them 3x.

now i know fook all about lacing 48's but will doing them 3x make any diference?

Shouldn't make much difference to them, there are 48 of the fookers after all

they do Rob, the hubs and the rims..........can't wait to have em spinning as they look the nuts!

when i took them into my local shop there were a few kids in there with their BMXs and they were like 'wow! look at those! they're sick!' probably pointed at me and said what a cynt once i'd left
