The only thing I noticed is the new spokes are in the opposite holes they were in originally, ie one hole out on hub. But this ain’t going to make any difference to the finished wheel as long as they are the same on the opposite side.
Looks good!

Oddjob:
Yeah you can see the marks the outer spoke left on the edge of the hub. Good spot.

juitz:
Oh yes, good spot!

Thanks for the checking. I'll crack on with truing the wheels and then getting some tyres fitted. Seems like Avon roadriders are popular choice so will go with these.

Oddjob:
Actually mate you may have to relace it. Just spotted that the inner spoke holes are recessed so the end sits inside. As you're one spoke hole out the ends of the spokes are now sitting proud and not sunken, whether this would affect them re breakages I can't say but for the sake of it I'd put them back where they are meant to be. Better to do it before fitting a new tyre.

If all the inner holes are countersunk then you're ok but from what I can see it looks like every other one.

juitz:
Thanks Oddjob, i'd rather not risk it and get it right.

Good excuse for a slow Saturday and a cold beer 😁
