URGENT wheel advice needed.

[JT71]

okay folks with Sunday fast approaching it has come to my attention that I'm a tw4t, and in addition to that already well known fact I have built my rear wheel wrong.

its 4x pattern and it reasonably true and round but i forgot to pass the spoke under the last of the 4 spokes it crosses.

How serious is this?

[pickle]

it means that as soon as you start pedalling.........the earth will stop spinning and we will all die! 

[Longun]

It'll have marginally less lateral strength but as long as the spokes are tight you'll be fine for doing Sunday's cruise on it.

cheers dude, I'll not be doing any steps then. i might re-build it tonight...but not sure...last thing I want is to
end up being up all night saturday truing it.

and Pickle: I think you are mixing up my rear 48 and the swiss particle accelerator. 

[pickle]

strength??  have you seen the size of Joe??  boing!  boing!  

[JT71]

mmmmmmmmmm

Rob...you are mean...but you do speak the truth. If I wasn't so fokking fat i wouldn't have to worry.

hey mate.........i'm just the same so don't worry 

i'll be riding my Black alloy hubbed Tuffs........so flexy flexy with 16 stone on em!   

[JT71]

LOL

for me its:

tuff up front, home built 48 on the back..........we can run a sweepstake on which gives up first.

 

[TwoBobRob]

Don't worry about it. It'll be fine.......  just don't ask me how I know.....

do AA  pick up bikes

[JT71]

well, i've redone it with the spokes right...just hope it survives.

i have a back-up plan, me mate wazzer is riding me haro, so if the TA wheel fails it looks like Wazzer will be walking. lol.

it's n ot quite as true this time. grrrr...
