nah it's just like doing up a load of spokes
once you have the pattern right you can't really go wrong

it's easier than knitting. and your gran can do that

[harris]

pete if we can get together one day i will build as many sets as you want.
i dont much fancy sitting hear all day making them it would be like knitting a wooly jumper
and teach you how to do it.

[QUADROPHENIA]

well mine has the square affect
















tomorrow it will have the feckin lobbed over the hedge effect





















BASTARD THING

[billstup]

The thing thatt helps is how much you tighten the spokes when you first lace the wheel up, I try to leave about 5 threads showing on all the spokes, then go all the way around one side giving 1 full turn of the nipples, then the same on the other side, then after that about half a turn of the nipples on each side separatly, then I true it up, and then go around again giving all the spokes the same amount of turn to tighten it right up, easy

it's simple to lace, but a true wheel that's a different matter.
