Righteo, looking to pick some brains here. More or less just finished truing and tensioning a rear disc wheel (36h Grand Cru touring hub laced to Velocity Chukker, DT Swiss Alpine III spokes). Because this is my first disc hub build last night did some double checking about whether I need to lace it differently (I was just following the Jobst Brandt book like with the rim brake builds I've done).
Attached picture is what I've done. However, this is what Peter Verdone + Shimano says to do
i.e I've got my braking spokes with the heads the wrong way. Drive side is fine.
Check the clearance from caliper to spokes. If you lace the right way, that will open up when you brake, if you lace the wrong way it will close up. If there's at least 2mm clearance with no load, I wouldn't bother to relace. On the other hand, I'd have done it right first time ☺

Question is: should I relace the braking side??
