ok im getting really aggrivated im relaceing my front wheel on my ttr 125 and i cant get the damn cross over pattern to work i thought i had it right and when i had it laced it wasnt right when you tried to true it all the spokes were to long (yes i checked the spokes length to the originals they are right) so if anyone has any help it would be greatly appreciated hell just a clear pic of the front wheel will work

Oh I know what your talking about now.... the rims offset in relation to the hub... I had that once when I had new rims for my YZ 400 it had a conical hub that took several different length spokes.

Most likely you have the wrong spokes... or you have then on the wrong sides... its impossible for me to say for certain since I cant lookie at the wheel... Everything being "relative" and it usually is IE: cross 4 on both sides or cross 3.

you are aware of the differences I assume if you are lacing wheels.

You can lace them any way you like. a cross 4 is strongest. a cross 3 will offer a slightly softer ride and a radial cross zero will be the weakest.

Virtually every dirt bike made uses a cross 4.

The actual "weave" should show itself known as you lace them up...

I'm prolly wrong. I ain't laced nuthin in years and my brain is like a noodle strainer these days.....

ya i can lace wheels like its nothin ive done harley wheels and other kinds but this one is i dunno just fucking being stupid like a cross 1 pattern works with the wholes in the rim but doesnt work for length and i was looking at the hub and you can see where every other spoke was flipped on the flange and i tried that to no avail kh can you find a pick of the ttr and look at the front wheel i have the 17 in front wheel (yamaha website has it but i cant resize or zoom on pics pc is dumb)

Ill see what I can dig up. My pc is a total tard for some reason tonite... it aint showin my avatar and loading stuff ultra slow. Yet the avatar is showing up in my control panel. Might be a SBN problem. I aint been messin with the comp till a little bit ago and just noticed this. Thought at first Fred or a admin deleted it but its still in user cp.... weird.

Krazy Hawaiian · 11-22-2005, 10:22 PM

bodydropcbr6 · 11-22-2005, 11:34 PM

blndebmbr · 11-23-2005, 12:28 PM

Hey...did you get it figured out?
I can take a pic quick if you still need it.

bodydropcbr6 · 11-23-2005, 12:43 PM

no i still havent figured it out and that would be awesome if you could do that for me i would really appreciate it

blndebmbr · 11-23-2005, 04:05 PM

What do you need...front/rear...rim/hub????
I've never laced a wheel so I am clueless.

blndebmbr · 11-23-2005, 04:18 PM

Ok here goes....I didn't resize them so they are HUGE pics!
I just reread the first post, so I guess the front is all you need....here you go! Hope these help!

bodydropcbr6 · 11-23-2005, 04:51 PM

thanks bb that should help alot (hopefully me having the 17 inch wheel and 01 style hub doesnt effect anything)

bodydropcbr6 · 11-23-2005, 06:04 PM

hell ya i finally figured the beast out thanks kh and bb for the help ( i found a pic of my actual wheel on the yamaha website) so that showed me the pattern and once i had that it went together in less than 10 mins including trueing but it sucks now its dark and i wont get to ride tomorow either cuz i have to hang with the family and then work black friday damn it i guess sat is better than still having it in pieces

Krazy Hawaiian · 11-28-2005, 08:13 PM

Right On!!!! Glad ya got it together w/o dealer fleecing!! Great pics BB

bodydropcbr6 · 11-29-2005, 04:16 PM
