Points taken.
All front wheels I have built are at max cross, just tryin to build a rear wheel that doesn't break drive side spokes so often, broke 3 on a 250 mile tour back in 88 and the pita was the club left the truing stand behind, lucky I did have spare spokes and the tools to remove the freewheel, but only at the end of the day. Looking back I should have had more breakin miles on those wheels and I prollly didn't have the wheel tensioned quite enough. My selfesteem takes a hit every time something I built fails in public, not again!!!!

PS the only race Im in is the rat derby.
