Since my origianl post received no feedback, I thought I'd try again with a different subject line.
I've gotten pretty good at building wheels with the good ol' 32 or 36 spoke 3X design, and want to
try something different for a nice set of ATB wheels.
I have picked-up bits and pieces of information suggesting (to my impressionable mind) that much
strength can be gained by orienting spokes on the drive side of the rear wheel with all the
heads facing
in.
This design makes a fair amount of sense to me, but I don't feel I have enough information to
actually set about building such a wheel.
Does anyone have information, opinions, and/or recommendations on the building of this sort of
wheel, or on ATB wheel design methods in general?
In case it matters much, I am planning on the use of Phil Wood hubs, Sun CR-18 rims, and DT Swiss
14/15/14 spokes.
