dogsballs [quote]Ratboy whats the front spoke pattern called looks mental in a good way
3 lead, 3 trail.[/quote]
Yep, really easy too. The angle the spokes leave the hub is exactly the same as three cross, so you can just use a regular spoke calculator to work out spoke length, or just use your existing spokes. Then just sit with a photo of a complete wheel and work it out from there. You can lace it but for a front it's not really necessary. Also, the higher the flange the better the result.
Did a variant of it for the front of my girlfriend's folding shopper. 3-leading 3-trailing with 4 radial spokes on a 28H hub.
This is the only pic I can find, without the radial spokes. on this side they are at 3 and 9 o'clock, on the other side the whole pattern is rotated by 90 degrees

there ya go

I did a 3L 3T with a twist for Zoe, maybe her and Rakan will show for polo again someday...
That 28h is almost like what i'm gonna build this weekend (hopefully). Only the extra radial spokes will be shooting through the middle of the crosses so it's like a 3 leading 3 trailing crow's foot lacing, if that makes sense.?.

dogsballs is that steve coogan in the middle?!?
stevo_com, it's nothing special, i was bored one arvo during the christmas holidays.
dogs, no offense but don't ever ever ever use the "word" arvo again. It is the most repulsive betrayal of our language and I will shit on your doorstep if you mutter such a repulsive utterance again

posted here before, but didn't post any photos of my bikes, except for a few photos of my vivalo-frame :)
Here's some more:
my first fixie, everyday bike, it's ugly and build mostly from dumpstered parts, but i still love it.
and the Vivalo, not quite done yet, but getting there:
Notice the very cool one-off temporary toptube protector ;) oh yeah, and the new invisible edition rubino pro-tyres..Very annoying i didn't measure up my old bike properly, and i got a stem that's like 40mm too long.. oh well, this being the first build i guess i should expect to make some errors, and track-parts are not that hard to sell in Denmark. It is way to expensive to ship stuff back to hubjob thats for sure.
sonicboom!

YO! Yeah im a Spatial design student that specializes in Architecture. Cycle round east a lot due to living in Holloway. The twisted rear spokes make the ride very rigid. Holds up well. Thanks to the guys at FixedGearLondon for building me this beauty! Will be attending the opening at Glorias no doubt! Ttying to get Sundays off for the Polo aswell!
