If this is confusing you'll never be able to lace your rims

@richminiturbo If the nipples won't reach, why not just get some longer nipples? I'd just do that, it may make your wheel look different to other people because some of your nipples are a few mm longer but who cares, you have a bike and they dont :)

@billabongxx1 its your hub then your spokes dont effect the turning just the durrobillity
Arrrrgh I get to lacing the last eight (over, over, under) and manage to get the nipples on about 4, but the others just dont reach far enough.
I have the right length spokes, I though I might have over tightened some so i loosened some off just a little, and as soon as I try lacing the last few, nipples start pinging off everywhere. its driving me mad mad mad!!

Remember that the holes on either side of the flange dont line up, so if you look at a spoke the spoke directly behind it on the rim should line up with the hole on the opposite side of the flange, slightly behind the other spoke. Therefore the distances are the same around the entire rim. Or you just tightened the nipples too much. Let me know how it goes. Other problems could be a bent rim or inconsistent spoke lengths.
