Hi all,
I am embarking on my second wheelbuild. I had previously built a 3X rear wheel, and this time round want to minimise the difference in spoke tension between the drive and non-drive side.
A friend of mine (Al) recommended the 3X drive side, and 2X non-drive side.
What is the trade off in using 2X, 1X or radial on the non-drive side?
Also have any of you used the Alpine III spokes?
My intended wheelbuild is Mavic open pros on Ultegra hubs. 14G DTswiss spokes for the front, and AlpineIII for the rear.
Your comments are appreciated.
