for some unfathomable reason every other spoke was baggy as hell and no much i twisted hub, tried to de-stress spokes it wouldn't equalize. Anyone any ideas?
Check the lacing - possible that you've got one side out of sync. If so, cure might be to move that side's spokes two holes along. (Mind you, when this happened to a friend the symptoms were that one side was massively overtight rather than the other being loose.) Presume you're certain the lengths are right?

I am just getting into wheel building, built half a dozen so far and only produced one, completely pants wheel. (no.2 dissaster!) now confident with 3 cross and managed to produce a 2 cross, 32 front in less than an hour and a half last night (pb!) but tried to do a 3 cross (D), 2 cross (non-D) rear wheel combo which turned quickly in to nightmare, for some unfathomable reason every other spoke was baggy as hell and no much i twisted hub, tried to de-stress spokes it wouldn't equalize. Anyone any ideas?
