[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 66197, member: 433"] Hello, when building a wheel with 3 or 4 cross pattern and new spokes, the bent in the spoke of the outside spokes is likely to contact the brakedrum. tightening up the drum can lead to a wobbly drum or worse breakage. Peter Barker wrote about it in detail in an older thread and how to modify the spoke heads exactly (4 cross)and he also made a tiny laser cut spacer to space out the drum so there is no contact between drum and spokes. If you are going 4 cross it will be a good idea to contact him and he might sell you the spacers as well. cheers Bernd [/QUOTE]
