I like them.

Check your lacing on the top piccy though. I think you're out a bit. The valve hole should be in between the spokes to the right,  (the big gap 1 hole along) this lets you put your dice caps on more easily!!!

Very patriotic  :Great_Britain:  8)

Bof and munnyella are both right though , the spokes after the valve hole should always angle away from the valve hole to give you clearance  ;)

I thought that when I did mine laced the same,  they just keep winking at you....

You won't be happy till they're done right.

Deep breath.....on with the job.

^^^  What he said  ^^^

It will be good practice for you.  Shouldn't take you as long now you know how to lace them.  (the key spoke is easy to overlook but you won't do it again now you know)
