There are two different spokes that vary on the bend, one goes from the outside of the hub to the inside the other inside to outside. Sort out the two sets and only fit the half that go from outside to inside using the witness marks on the hub.
Lace up just this half and get the wheel reasonably true, you can then easily slide the other half through the hub hols and connect up.
Have the aftermarket spokes got the correct "bend" at the end and are they the same length as originals? Original spoke kits fit easy but never used aftermarket.
Thankyou for your response.
I’m not sure what the original spokes were like as I’m building these wheels piece by piece if that makes sense.
To be clear, you’re saying to lace only the outer 20 spokes, tighten down and true, install the inner spokes, tighten down and true. Then it should be true overall and properly torqued? And fix the spokes wanting to bend before even close to factory recommended torque setting?
I appreciate your advice very much!
