Continue to chase weave as you gradually upset the spokes. End off your #2R when your spokes are standing upright. Switch to 11/64" FO and weave approximately 12 rows of start and stop, and 1 row 7mm FF (rim row). Pack well, cut, and tuck spokes. Insert handles. Rim with 3/8" FO, #6R between rims and lash with 11/64" FO. |
