Firstly let me say its the best book I have ever read on wheel building and would highly recommend it to anybody.
Just one question for those of you have read it..... it mentions early on about "type 1" rims and "type 2" saying that "type one" rims have the first spoke hole to the left of the valve as the one which is higher on the rim and proceeds to base all his advice on subsequent spoke lacing using this as the default type to be expected. He briefly mentions "type 2" rims where the first spoke hole is lower on the rim and says that this is rare in anything but very old rims and if you encounter it then just use the second (higher) spoke hole to the left as the first spoke to insert and then presumably just follow instructions as normal I'm not sure I've explained this clearly but those of you who have the book will I hope understand. I've laced numerous "type 1" rims and they all work perfectly but starting second on the left with type 2 rims always goes wrong and I end up without the appropriate spoke spacing on either side of the valve hole. Has anybody found the same problem and resolved it please
