Rebuilding a Spoked Wheel for the Royal Enfield Bullet

Step 11 The brake linkage side

The brake linkage side is done in the same way as the speedo side. Firstly I pattern the spokes so that the outer set points upward but on the left side of the wheel which is now the front, previously they were upward on the right. With the inner set going in the opposite direction, I rest each spoke in the pentagon opening made by the bottom speedo side layer.
This setting out of the spokes makes life a little easier as well as preventing blocked spokes.
