My spokes...revised!.
« on: June 22, 2012, 08:58 PM »

Right, in pretty sure ive got it right this time, all spokes seem to be trailing the one on opposite side, as you can see by my rims, the spokes can only go one way as the eyes on the rims won't let you go the other way, I know because igot it wrong again and they were bending at awkward angles. I hope they're not wrong, if they arent quite right I can't see that it would matter!??, any help please.

Spokes are wrong in half the wheel. If you reverse the Direction of the spokes on left hand side of the wheel that should be right.

That is according to the top picture

Hi mate un lace it have a cup of tea or a beverage of your choice and the have another bash ;)

It looks like you might have twisted the hub the wrong way after you put the lead spokes in.

Im no expert though :D

Keep trying though and dont give up mate.

Okay, I thought one side might be wrong!, problem is I can't follow the instructions off here, when I put first spoke into the first eye on rim next to valve whole the guide says to spin the hub clockwise, if I do this the spokes lead the wrong way out of the eyed causing the nipples to come out on the wrong angle so have to spin anti clockwise!, are these types of eyes common, my other bikes don't have the eyes in the rims that force you to go a certain way, they're araya rims sun tour hubs.
