Anyone here know of a good resource on how to lace the GS hub?
It’s a straight pull hub, it’s as simple as it gets. I would work on one “side” at a time, and one direction at a time (trailing/leading).
I would probably work it like this, doing the inner spokes first:
Leading DS
Trailing NDS
Trailing DS
Leading NDS
Straight pull hubs like that are the simplest to lace of any hub.
Nothing gets in the way of anything else and they hold their position relative to each other. If you want you can completely occupy the hub and then sit the rim around it and just start at the valve hole in the parallel spokes and go around the rim.
10 year old kid could do it.
Just be aware that there is a spoke calculator especially for this hub and that even though it looks 2 cross, the spokes are almost fully tangential, so effectively 3 cross.

I have the spokes already. I used the chart. I likely fucked the length up though… Like I did the front spokes.

Sounds good.

Since the GS hub shell is made by DT Swiss, I’ve used their online spoke calculator with great results. Multiple wheels built, always the correct spoke length (of course that assumes you have a correct ERD!)

Enter your rim ERD
For rear hub type choose ‘DT Swiss straight pull’
For model choose ‘240s 130 mm non disc 9/10/11-speed straightpull’
I think it’s less error prone than their chart (though I do always get the same lengths both ways)
