So, I just completed try number 6 or 7 on my lunch break. After these last two tries now my valve stem hole is blocked in. It's getting worse. I think that the spokes would all tighten down, but the threads would all be poking into the tube. I know the spokes are the right length because I measured them with a spoke ruler and compared them to the old ones. I don't get it. Just don't get it. The pattern looks perfect and just like the one on my '63 Hercules. Are the methods different at all between 36 hole and 40 hole? I'm following a 36 hole video on youtube.
