    Need advice on improving this lacing arrangement

    Thanks Anthony. I looked at the hub and it does seem that washers certainly wouldn't hurt. I can't hardly bear to think of relacing this for the umpteenth time but it would be worth it if it resolved the clicking. I'll post back again if I manage to make an improvement.

    Need advice on improving this lacing arrangement

    I promised to report back with the results of re-lacing. I got new spokes and nipples, dis-assembled the wheel, re-laced it using single-cross, and have since put about 60 km.

    Thank you Chalo, I'm glad to have some official confirmation to what I suspected. I am going to redo it with single cross. And thank you E-HP and the rest who chimed in, I appreciate it. HP I hadn't noticed the grouping by flange but now you mention it I won't be able to unsee it! I'll...

    Scrambler you're right, alternating in and out is the usual method, but as E-HP says Grin's advice is to put them all on one side of the flange or the other in order to improve triangulation. In the video E-HP linked to, the example is given of a wheel with a tension ratio of 70:30, which he...

    Need advice on improving this lacing arrangement

    Hello all. I've recently laced up my first wheel, it's a front hub Shengyi SX1 motor on a DT Swiss 27.5 rim. Spokes are Sapim 13-14g single butted. Because the hub is relatively small and the rim relatively large, I chose to do a 2-cross lacing. Here is the setup from the Grin Spoke Calculator...
