I've found the e-book The Professional Guide to Wheel Building by Roger Musson to be a great step-by-step tutorial. I've built a half dozen wheelsets so far, and this downloadable e-book (pdf) for ~$15 has answered every question. It's profusely illustrated and very readable.
I've no connection with the author other than that of a very satisfied customer. |

Wow, almost 9 years ago! Not much has changed, just a couple of names on the list.
Nice work digging! |

AND next time, may ask..double butts make for a more reliable wheel than straight gauge BUT straight gauge will work as well. Yes, Dan's Comp are cheap..$.40 for Race spokes..

I was just kicking myself about this. I was planning all along to do the race spokes/db but when I got on the phone, I totally forgot...and when they sent me an email notification to tell me the stuff is shipped (credit to Dans Comp, they shipped the same day), that's when I realized my mistake. Oh well, next time, yes? |

Once upon a time, long, long ago, double butted spokes were the things of magicians and skeptics and ALL wheels were built with 14 or 15g straight spokes and for decades and decades, these worked just fine.
Yes, double butts, in the 'grand scheme of things', whatever that is, make for a 'more durable' wheel but again, many, many wheels still built with modern, straight gauge spokes that see wheel lives measured in years, sometimes decades. I just built a wheelset with Sapim Strong spokes. Which are essentially straight gauge with a 2.3mm butt at the elbow. REALLY nice spokes, not expensive either. If the spoke hole on the hub is big enough, great choice for 'heavier' riders. So much mystique about 'butted spokes'. BUT I have built with a $25 hub, $35 rim and 32 or 36 straight gauge spokes and the wheel is fine for it's purpose, thanks. BUT for the OP..lace inside pulling if doing 28 and 3 cross. Minimizes bend of pulling spoke over flange.

OK...I could have sworn that I heard him said "yes" on the phone...but that was several months ago, I could have remembered incorrectly. The way he put it was, not necessary but recommended.
