I'm afraid I am not that good at this wheel building thing. I re-laced the front wheel by removing only the outbound spokes, and now I think I have a 3-cross pattern (there are 3 crosses on spokes attached to the same flange). The problem is the spokes are now too loose. In fact the spoke threads are coming through the nipples and the spokes are not tight at all.
