Hi all,
I finally got to building my wheels yesterday. Rear wheel is a normal XT hub with Mavic rim, front wheel is a purple Pulstar hub with the same Mavic rim. I have built Pulstar hubs before and this shouldn't be any problem (just standard 3 cross pattern).
No the weird thing is, with this particular Pulstar hub I can't get them spokes in the right way. Starting off with the leading spoke, then the next one 4 holes off it, the next one 4 holes off it (like it's done with normal 3-cross pattern). All seems to be OK until I get to 4 or more spokes, every spoke starts bending as if it should actually be one hole further than the normal 4th hole. But I can't go one hole further because the eyelets in the rim are the wrong side then (right sided/left sided).
Like I said, I have built Pulstar wheels before and never had any problem with them. This particular hub is actually the same one as in my S-works except that it's purple. Is there anything I'm missing here?? Were there different pattern Pulstars as well? Spoke length is correct...
Any help would be great! TIA
