Rebuilding a Spoked Wheel for the Royal Enfield Bullet

Step 3 Half Loaded Hub

Here is the hub half loaded, 10 of the short spokes and 10 of the longer spokes.
At this point I turn the hub over and do the other side.

I also put a small dab of copper grease on each spoke thread before I start the whole procedure, it prevents corrosion, cold welding or seizing of the spoke and nipple, and accounts for the dark look of the threads in some pics.
