| Dec 17, 2018 at 17:31 | comment | added | Cliff | sorry Green.. and Gary Ray - I provided a poor and long winded sample of how I got through my first few wheel builds using another wheel as a model. The only point I was trying to make is that the beginning spoke to end up parallel for that DT Swiss rim is the number 1 spoke hole is the first one before the valve hole on the drive side. All of the rest of my too long answer was to try to give you confidence for your first build. I will work on sticking to the subject. My other point was to not send the wheel back. It is not drilled wrong. | |

The expectation here is that users give a detailed yet direct and factual explanation in each answer. It's also better if you try to stay directly focused on the actual question, and pay attention to formatting.

As for parallel spokes it is not just a cosmetic issue for me -- it is a must have, the area between parallel spokes is my future workplace with pump so it'd better be comfortable. You build a wheel once, but you pump your tubes/tires many, many times. | |
