First wheel build. I used the online calculator and ordered spokes accordingly.
The photo below is of my radially laced non-drive side. Somehow the spokes ended up pointing out from the hub in a sort of sideways/spiralling fashion, rather than at a straight angle.
No idea how it ended up that way. Will I crash in a ball of flames?
Other than that the wheel is nice and true and built to match the symmetry of my current rear wheel.
