First try at lacing a wheel

[Oggie400F]

I’m finally getting around to putting a dual disc front brake on my 550F.
The one thing I have been waiting for is to replace the wheel rim.
I got a St/St rim and spokes set from Central Wheel Components, stripped the old wheel, cleaned up and sprayed the hub (baked in my home made oven, thanks to Ash) and plucked up the courage to tackle the re-lacing of the wheel.
It took 3 attempts to get the second set of spokes correct but after that was plain sailing.

Just need to true it up now.

My brother is a lifelong cyclist - he goes to a wheelbuilder as he found it incredibly difficult to true them up.
Hope it works out for you - I guess if you have the skills plus the patience as you learn then it will all go okay.
Best of luck with the wheel building!
