Hi K2000X,
              A good knowledgable mate has come across this before, what he found was that a talon hub is laced up differently. The spokes cross over 3 times instead of 2 like normal as the spoke angle in the hub is slightly different. Hope this is the case for you, maybe check with the supplier to clarify.
Cheers Troy
