Lacing Pattern is 2 cross… Assembled, it now will be trued up as spokes are tightened.. Remember loosen 1st when straightening..Then tighten.. Then loosen selected areas.. In a little while, rim will be running true..

1. It’s always easier to straighten by loosening than by tightening…So…..
   Spin the wheel and find the wobble with a felt tip marker.
   Loosen the spokes in that area by 1/2 turn.
   Then starting at the tube stem hole, tighten all spokes 1/4 turn.
   Then tap all spokes with a very small mallet.
   Repeat as needed.

   Also, first you take out the radial run out.
   Then take out the lateral run out.

   Unless you have a bent rim, you should be able to get the run out
   down to 1/16″ without ANY tight spokes..
