*Gulps and runs for the hills*  :LolLolLolLol:

Use this spoke length calculator thread by Sean:

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,136816.0.html

Do the required (ie ERD and hub measurements - you'll see what I mean when you read that link), and in the spoke length calculator put in 3X first and then 4X. The spoke length it comes out to for both - pick the one that's nearest to your 184 spokes (give or take 1-2mm)  :daumenhoch:

Yeah youtube is where to check, it's is not like we would have a 'how to' on this site for that as well as the spoke length how to  :idiot2: :2gunsfiring_v1: :uglystupid2: :tickedoff:


Hang we do have instructions on how to build a wheel after all and it was also written by me.
