URGENT wheel advice needed.
« on: September 19, 2008, 08:29 AM »
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?

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.  :LolLolLolLol:
