I have a front hub (non disc) that does not have any offset on the spoke holes. The right flange holes are directly opposite the left flange holes. I checked many times in a few ways.


I built the wheel up anyways and if you look from the outside of the rim, the pattern is: two normal length spokes, the two spokes that are about 2mm past the nipple, and that repeats. The long spokes are still below the part of the rim were they would not puncture the tube.

Is this OK?
Any ideas what I did wrong?
Aren't all hubs offset on spoke holes?


I am not an accomplished rim builder. I have built about 10 wheels in my life and the last one was a few years ago, but I have never had this problem.
