I thought that I wouls share my method of building spoked wheels. John O is the inspiration but I have added a few of my own twists to the process. Several things that I need to mention before progressing: (1) After determining the number of spokes that you want, the hub has to have 1/4 the number of holes (per side) that the wheel rim does, i.e, if the rim is going to have 40 spokes the hub requires 10 holes per side. (2) when assembling the wheel hub, I think that it looks better if the hub holes are staggered. (3) The jig, as shown does not have to have a tight hold on the rim, I like to be able to rotate the hub/rim assembly while lacing up the spokes.
