Hi! I have an rim with 32 holes, and having problem to find spokes of right length for 3 crosses, but I could find right spokes for cross 4 build. I was wondering just how smart it is to build the wheel in X4 pattern. I know that using too many crosses can cause spoke head interference problems at the hub for very large or small hub flanges. It can also cause the spokes to enter the rim at too great angle for very small rims. Rim: 599 ERD Hub: Pitch circle diameter 45mm (both sides) Flange distance 32.6mm (L) & 16.9mm (R) Since this is an road rim with "large" ERD, I was thinking I could be OK with X4. Any thoughts?

Yes you can lace 4 cross but as you mentioned, you will have a lot of spoke overlap on the hub flange. WEhere are you? I can get spokes the right length for you, DT, and send them. No need to use the wrong length.

I live in Croatia....don't bother with sending, shipping would probbably cost more than spokes 🙂)

He's either in Croatia or Herzegovina if I'm reading the headers correctly.

I'd go x3. x4 is best for 40 spokes or more. As well as head interference you can get acute spoke/rim angles.

Au contraire.
I can get 2 wheels worth of spokes/nipples to you in under a week for $10.
