Or you could do a 3-pushing/3-pulling pattern:

Mark pal, thanks for the suggestion, I might try that some day but for now I am still trying to work out the Shamal. It's all drilled, prepped and ready to go on the truing stand.

what are you going to lace it to Weisan? I assume you're going to use some big washers, as the shamals use pretty big diameter nipples?

I dunno yet but one thing I know for sure, it's gonna be SHIMANO-COMPATIBLE right out the gate, no further modification needed.

The washer I used to build the Ksyrium will work here as well. I tested them.

Look what I found yesterday!

More "upcoming" projects...

A couple of kinlins, Velocity Deep V, Aerohead, and the "white & shiny" A23s.

From your CO-OP? These are new, they need to get a clue if they want to make any money.

These rims been sitting in the box for months, somebody has to build em'...plus I am not building these to sell, I have a mutually beneficial relationship with my co-op which I am very thankful for.

What I meant, the local CO-OP here is always scrounging for $ to keep operating, and having new/NOS rims would help bring in $, rather than $5 per, type thing. If you can score these for next to no $, good on ya.

Nice but as you are seeing..28 and 3 cross and large flange makes for spokes overlapping adjacent spoke head.

The picture on the right is 24 3X.

The picture on the left is a tiny wheel.

It's not an issue for road bikes. I've been doing it since I started out. It conforms to the spoke count/3 formula as well.

36 4X is right on the edge of useable. There's a little overlap, but I've been able to get a spoke out if necessary.

I did this one a long time ago. Never actually used it though.
