[s]surely if the valve is in the wrong place you are just lacing it wrong [ assuming you want it in the right place] so lace it properly. Your lacing pattern is wrong basically
Obviously flipping the rim will solve this - well if you then start in the right place afterwards :wink:[/s]
nope go with the gorilla engineering from ben ignore me
If you want extra speed uphill, have you thought of Sheldon Brown's POWerwheel lacing pattern?

I'd be paranoid about anything other than perfect lacing of the wheel, so as to avoid the flange snapping at the spoke hole that at some people have had on schlumpfs.
Oh *. It was all laced correctly, with just the valve hole in the "wrong" position, and one of the flanges just went at the spoke hole when applying final tension. Not even one where it had previously been laced wrong from the looks of things - just me going overboard with spoke tension. *!
Have you flipped the wheel yet?
Do you think that will help with the broken flange? 😥
For reference a replacement for this hub is more expensive than pretty much any hub anybody else on here is using - more expensive than a Rohloff!
