Hi Everyone, I finally wound up lacing the rim twice and taking it apart twice. I took it in to a beach cruiser place who has a phil wood spoke cutter they cut the old spokes I had for 8.00 I finally brought it back to them and paid 15.00 per wheel. I told him I was close and had watched you tube over & over he said he fixe lots of you tube ttys at wheel lacing I told him to post a video on you tube to say they fix your spoke lacing job.

Thanks for the help with this. John
