[QUOTE="Gene Nehring, post: 149858, member: 2973"] To add my two cents worth. I have what I believe are original spokes from a Vaughan Green stash and these are swaged spokes. I have built a set recently from Devon rim company and I have also built a set from Buchanan’s. Both lots had larger than original heads and needed a tickle on one side to get them to clear each other. I agreed with others that four cross is the right way to go and remember that they should pull against each other. I build mine with drums on. As per Glen and Robert down to about 10 thou run out or better in all directions. 55-70 inch pounds on torque. I know Buchanan’s spec higher, but boy things seem tight when you try to get that tight. With a recently set of hubs the new flange where spoke plate mounts was not machined true and was running out by more than five thou each side which caused a bit of an inconvenience. I had to re machine them. Happy new year Ken. Hope to have a visit this year. [/QUOTE]
