Lace up your wheel when you don't know what you're doing or what the pattern is. I just spent hourrrrrrs trying to figure it out. I had to lace and unlace my wheel 4 times. The last tiime I did it I came sooo close but I guess I did something wrong because the spokes are semi loose and almost poking out of the nipples. I thought I did re pattern right and I weaved re spokes where they needed to be. Now. Even my shiiiiity back up wheel is completely ruined. Wasn't really rideable before either but still
