Advice sought.
I have started my first wheel build. I am following Sheldon Brown's tutorial.
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html
I have done the basic lacing (3 cross) but every 4th spoke sems to embed too far into the rim (HplusSon SL42 deep section) so that I cannot see the nipple to adjust.
The spokes are the correct length. I have screwed each nipple down so that it shows no thread on the spoke. The cross overs seem correct. What have I done wrong?
thanks
