About to build some low spoke count wheels for the first time - 20h/24h F/R. They're fixed so no dish to worry about.
I've built plenty of wheels before and put several thousand miles on them without any probs..... but I've literally only ever built 32h 3x.
Planning on 2x rear, radial front for these. Any particular pitfalls to look out for building low count for the first time?
Just be prepared for your adjustments with the spoke key to make more difference to trueness for a given amount of twist, takes a little getting used to and needs more finesse but with patience you'll be fine.
