• Well, I've got three wheels to build and being able to do so myself would make me 99.99% self-sufficient...

    Any tips for snowflake?

  • Snowflake. Measure up for a regular 3-cross then decide how many twists you want for your snowflake. Add 1mm for a single twist and 3mm for a double twist. When twisting do it gently rather than 'creasing' the spoke because as you bring up the tension the exact location of the twist will change.
