SHIMANO DURA ACE AX Wheels Lacing question
I got these wheels new but the spokes are not in correctly has all the spokes heads should all be facing in. The recessed slot should have the spoke laying it
For the rear wheel all I have to do is reverse those spokes
The front wheel has one side where all I have to do is reverse the slotted hole spokes. But the other side is all wrong and Ican't quite figure how to correct
So anyone with photos of spokes installed correctly thanks Charles

Probably you gonna have to relace the front one, the dude probably used the normal way and that's why the thing has the spokes facing the wrong way?

1st time i see a hub like those ones, did not know them, is interesting tho.


Here is another one...

OK thanks I am flipping the spokes over now working so far
Your photos and a friends photos show correct way to lace Has I recall 3x was the way hubs were designed for. My set is two x but walso works

Deja Vu...I recently rebuilt some of these for my Team Miyata. They are certainly meant to be 3x and outside drive rear. I loved the idea...relieving the stress at the spoke head, but the downside is that if you DO break an inside spoke, it ain't so simple to replace.
