Is it hard to lace a wheel? I've been wanting to get some new hubs and spokes but the shop charges like 12 bucks per tire to install em. $24 bucks for screwing some long rods in place doesn't exactly seem like a twelve dollar job to me.

Thanks! It took probably 3 hours to build this one, but I took my time, went slowly, and modified the regular pattern slightly. It's a 4-cross, and all the info I could find was for a 3 cross.
