Does anyone know the spoke pattern for a 28 hole wheel 3 cross. I can lace a 32 hole but never done a 28 hole.
How many spoke holes between the spokes that go in opposite directions (on a 32 hole its 9). Read somewhere that it may be 7.
How many between the spokes that run in the same direction (on 32 hole its 3).
Can't find a detailed picture on the web of a 28 hole wheel side on to count.
Thanks
They'll still just be in groups of 4 all the way round. Nothing to stress about!
Yeah, I lace in 4 groups (of 7 in this case).
No idea about this method
The spokes on one side that cross directly will have 2 spoke holes between them at the hub. (For 3x it's 4, 1x is none).
At the rim it's always one hole between them.
I think I've got a 28-spoke wheel in the garage. I'll check and take a photo
That's a 3x wheel
That's what OP wanted isn't it?
God what a muppet. I really should read the op properly shouldn't I?
Great thanks for that. So 9 and 2
Looking closer at that wheel looks like 3 holes in between the spokes that point the same way at the rim so the same as a 32 hole then ? Will try again tonight.
Yes, as per the first two responses, it's identical, you just have 7 sets of four spokes, not eight.
