Crow's feet! Haven't seen that lacing pattern in a few years...looks like it turned out pretty well.

I always figured if I could get plain old 3-cross done without making the wheel square I was doing alright. :lol:

After reading Sheldon, I really wanted to try it too... just never had the balls to tear apart a good wheel. Glad to see you made it work!
