Hello it looks like the outer spokes on the brake linkage side are backwards, if you look at all the RE Bullet wheels for sale on ebay as a complete unit, they are laced opposite to yours on the braking side of the hub. Maybe I am missing something? But I laced my spokes the way they are shown on the ebay wheels, hope that is correct. But the point is thanks very much for this lesson, it helped a lot!

Better way is to only lace those spokes that come from the outside in - or better put that shows the shiny buttons on the outside of the wheel. These are the interior spokes. Then go around the wheel in order / sequence clockwise or the other way to ensure no crossing and interference. Applying the nuts loosely as you go.

Once these interior spokes are laced complete with nuts applied (loosely) and set you can then do the interior ones without any interference very quickly - this will save you a ton of time, cursing and other antics!!
