Ok a break to take more pics
I showed in the last session how the wheel looked at finish. Now for the tips and tricks part of the build. At this point the spokes are not well seated into the hub so It is going to make the build easier if they are/ The process I use is to hold the hub stable and bend the spokes slightly upward to get the spokes to seat in the hub shell. I am going to show the process after explaining the second step of the build.
At this point the drive side spokes are set, and it is time to load the off drive-side spokes so they pull in the proper sequence to drive the wheel. The spokes on this side will pull just behind the first spokes we installed. So we need to find the hole in the off drive-side that immediately follows the drive spoke the nine spokes go into the h form the outside to the inside every second hole in the hub. These spokes then radiate to the rim just behind the first set of spokes we placed. The pictures should make it clear as to how they go into the rim. When the nipples are installed the spokes should be seated down just like on the drive side.

bending the spokes to seat into the hub-shell
position of the non drive side spokes in the hub
The non-drive side spoke closest in the pic and drive side spoke leading the non-drive side spoke
The way the wheel will look after lacing the non-drive spokes.
The non-drive side spokes will need to be seated in as were the first stage spokes. Next segment will show the way and reasons for the methods I use
