3 cross. Look at just about any other wheel and you will see the pattern!

I thought you said two cross?
what the heck
I dont know if you cut the spokes too short then, they wouldnt reach far enough to make a three cross pattern....

I think the spokes are too short, they dont reach right.

Since this is in the Aaron thread, I've got a question for you as well.

I'm about a week and a half away from having all the parts to put my new bike together. Just need to know a few things regarding your shop.

Parts wise - You've got my headset there, I also need a campy 10spd lockring (for a chorus 13-29 cassette) and all the appropriate cables (brakes, shifting). Do you have those onhand, or should I order those now?

Other stuff - Assuming I get to your place early enough, is it possible to be there while it's built and have it done same day? If so, how much beer should I bring (I'm assuming your associates might like some too)?

I'm so friggin' excited...

Call me on Thursday at the shop to discuss the details.

I cannot guarantee that you would be able to watch while your bike gets assembled. The day at my shop doesn't always go as planned. Darn customers with flat tires, etc. I am really the only one that drinks much beer at my shop. One 6 pack is plenty.
