Hi everyone on this forum ,

Recently I got some of the nipples on my rear wheel damaged and I decided to change the nipples in order to be able to true the wheel properly. The wheel has 32 spokes with 3 cross pattern. Now when I lace the spokes the last set of 8 spokes appear to be too long. Even If I tighten the nipples up to the end it is still above the rim. You can see it more clearly in the pictures. Why does that happen ? What did I possibly do wrong ?
