21" front wheel lacing..

[Chadske]

I just finished lacing my 21" front rim. Watched videos on YouTube and read the tech.. I just want someone to see if it's wrong or the spokes just needs to be fully tightened. The outers almost seem to be bending to me.. This is my first time doing this. I appreciate any help and tips..

It almost seems like the spokes are too long..

you got something a click off...had alot of experience lately...trying to do pics cannot do from phone

 

[Chadske]

Should be an option lower right corner to upload pics.. Can you tell if it's from my outer spokes?

Big dog does it look like my outers need to be moved over one hole ?

Yes you are off a hole. That's why the spokes are to long.

Just got back home and re tried the inners how does that look?

 

[Chadske]

This is the last time tonight for me. Everything seems tight and to me looks right what do you guys think.

The pattern looks ok, but it looks like a lot of spoke threads are showing.
Do the spokes thread up to the top of the spokenuts?

Where's the valvestem hole? Is it straddled/bordered by a pair of inners?

Yes a from the bottom of the hub there's an inner and from the top of the hub. Haven't tightened the spokes all the way down yet want to make sure I have the pattern before I gotta pull them all back off..

Perfect now to buy the right wrench for the spokes and see how if it is correct
