SABfan's response is obviously from a guy who has been around awhile. Nicely done, SABfan.
The bike essentially hangs from the rims rather than being lifted. So it is also quite possible to use a long spoke, thread it through the hub eyelit, and bend it around like a hook. It is a bit tricky to do this and get the length right, but it can be done.
I have done this and enjoyed thousands of miles out of the cobbed spoke without incident.
