The benefits of paired spoking don't exist unless you're
talking about large distances between each spoke (as in low
spoke-count wheels). The idea to paired spoking is that
you're not having the rim tugged this way (laterally) by
one spoke, that way be another. If the distances between
spokes are fairly small (as in a 32-spoke wheel), this
isn't a concern.

I was riding with Pat McCarty this AM and his looked like 36
hole Bontrager wheels. Didn't ask him about it, but the
spokes looked closer than 32 hole.
