Building a wheel up for a friend an I'm having a full on brain fart for some reason.
Laced up the non drive side twice now each time the trailing spokes come out way to long, im counting off the 3 cross pattern same as the other side though. Any ideas?

    You're doing it wrong?

    With only that info to go on that is the best anyone will manage.

    Are you using a guide?

    I am, turns out I was doing it wrong id totally ignored where the key spoke was on the drive side so the non drive side was wrong. I got annoyed an took out all the spokes re laced from scratch an its fine. I usually use sheldons guide done a fair few wheels without issue in the past just my brain went yesterday when I was doing it.

    All's well that ends well.

    I use the wheelpro book, inexpensive, lost of useful stuff and he's always happy to answer Q's.
