Topic: 400f spoke lacing

[malcolmgb]

Do these 400F wheels have the spokes laced correctly?

[steam-powered man]

looks like pics of 400f wheels i can find on ebay, and also looks like the spoke pattern from my cb350f. 
alternating "crosses", staggered by one hole (there's a joke in there somewhere).

Thanks for that steam-powered man. It is the rear I'm more concerned about, my spare hub has marks left from original spokes which were cut off and the outer spokes seem to face the opposite way as on the front wheel.
Is that your 350 in the pic? it has an unusual mudguard (fender) looks like a 19" very similar style to my CL.

It happens sometimes if rim was drilled opposite direction. (usually from a different manufacturer)
I've had it when swapping from DID rims to Boranni

Thanks crazypjso just follow the same pattern and don't worry which direction spokes point.

[steam-powered man]

spoke pattern on  the front of my cb350f (pic) matches the rear (stock rims).  oem front fender was bobbed a bit.

Could you take a pic from non disc side of front and also a picture of rear wheel to give me a guide please.

[steam-powered man]

yup, in about 12hrs.

I've built several wheels last year or so, all 18" for CB360's (hub is same as 400f)
