Finally started my first wheel build since I've got some downtime at the moment. Have Hadley hubs mated with KOM i29 rims with wheelsmith 15g straight spokes.
Used the Prowheelbuilder calc to determine the spoke lengths but after speaking with @Mr.Moto , his calc was 2mm shorter across the board. Decided on the longer as shorter I'd thought would be much worse. Following a YT vid, the 3x lacing was a piece of cake.
I started tightening each spoke evenly to match the exposed threads. But eventually having no threads exposed. Upon further inspection it appears that every two spokes they appear to be longer than the previous two. Did I screw up the simple lace job or are the spokes too long?
