Wheelbuilding / Wheel Building / Wheel build help

Sounds the wrong way round if you're looking to improve the spoke bracing angle on the dished side. Just stick to 3x all round and one kind of spoke, keeping it simple has worked fine for generations.

I'd take DT Alpine III over Sapim Strong, the thin middles on the DT spokes promote load sharing by being more stretchy

Thanks for that:)
I though it was simply to reduce the length of the off side spokes (thereby equalising tension), hadn't considered the bracing angle... Been making most of my wheels 3x for years just wondered if this might improve things.
If it ain't broke and all that:)
Though mine is, hence the project:(

Thanks for the advice on the DT Alpines, they sound like a good bet, do you happen to know their max dia?

Cheers,
Ivan
