Pacenti SL23 hole offset
Moderator: robbosmans
Hello,
I got a set of 24 and 28hole SL23's
The holes appear to me to be very close to center, actually making me a bit paranoid that I lace them wrong.
Anyway, when looking at the hole on the outer of the rim, that hole can be seen to be closer to one side.
should that closer rim side be the side towards that hub side ?
Thanks,
L

The SL23 in 24 hole is available both ways.

Ok now I've thoroughly confused myself as I have previously used Sheldon Brown's wheelbuilding website to lace my wheels. This of course gives the advice that
Which is not correct for a Hed rim as it uses angled rim drillings.
Anyone got an alternative wheel-building page that is suitable for angled drillings? I don't have the intellectual capacity to reverse engineer the Sheldon brown guide at the moment. I've just had retinal surgery and building the wheel for an hour or so gives me a headache.
EDIT : I just ordered Roger Musson's book.
The spoke holes do not run down the middle of the rim, but are offset alternately from side to side. The holes on the left side of the rim are for spokes that run to the left flange of the hub.
