Is the valve hole in between two spokes that are converging, my biggest bugbear when I used to build BITD..

I suspected as much ..

Agree..the first spoke is really important ..first one must pull away from spoke hole.

Also if you are going to invest in any 'kit' I'd say a tension meter is worth while. Truing and dishing you can do in a frame but for strong wheels you really need balanced tension.

it's in the wrong place! the hole should be one spoke to the left, as seen in that pic
