Has anyone build POWERTAP hub G3 with Fulcrum speed rim (50mm carbon tubular)?

For this need 28 holes powertap hub. Plan is to build on NDS 3x (14 spokes Sapim cx ray) ; DS radial (7 spokes Cx ray or Sapim Race) with heads IN.

Max spoke tension on DS will be 140kg

Cheers

Absolutely not. Even with 140kg on the DS, your NDS spokes will have ~30kg of tension which isn't nearly enough. If you feel you must do this, lace the DS with 14 spokes, and the NDS with 7. But I wouldn't recommend that either, just because Saris won't approve it. I've done it though and it works fine.

They have the same lacing, but only with an equal number of spokes left and right. As said above, there is zero possibility of having enough left side tension in your proposed 1:2 pattern. Fulcrum, Campy use 2:1 to even tensions out, your choice is going the wrong way.
