Okay,started my first wheel build the other day and realized afterwards, that the spokes surrounding the valve hole were not parallel and so proceeded to re-lace the entire wheel.
Only thing is now, that although the lacing pattern looks correct it kinda resembles a basket weave.As in, the spokes are far from straight and do not sit well in the spoke holes on the flange.Of course more tension will pull in the slack, but i cant see that if i begin the trueing process that the spokes will bed in properly.Ive added some photos,any help welcome thanks.
