Hey find a fork and we'll run it there.
Reason that build felt stiff... all 14g wire.. rim above 500 grs. In use by lightwts... no wattage .. almost any lacing DE-sign flies then.
2nd and last one laced alternate heads in/out DS... 1x left. Using a older generation Bontrager paired hole 24... giving nice wide angles left on the 1x. Tension was equal side to side... I balanced at 100 kgf.
Never a lacing that'll see any serious use. I'm not one to lay awake worrying about the 'lack of torque' the DS produces radial.. I suspect the stone age guy who carved out the first wheel wasn't concerned either...
I mean some torque laying on the roadway won't give flats.......Butttt.. does balance tension .. some. Does theoretically give more lateral stiffness per spoke counts. 3-2 lacing means four groups of 2 DS spokes side each.. which with the heavy rim used was easy to true.. and stayed put.
IF I wanted desired thought about refining this count.. I'd go four groups of 3-2.. something on the lines of the G3.. say the gap between the spoke series around 50% of the circumference of the 3-2/5 spoke group. I only ride alloy rims... how heavy to go at 180's... would the Kinlin 19 be enough.. has eyelets. Kinlin 270's go just under a pound.. extra holes in rims/hubs et al does not matter in the real world. But as the mathematician Marin correctly observed four spokes is what .. 22 grams or so. 16-8's (mine Kinlin 200 380 some grams rims) are ideal .. but a winter 12-8 project next might get some consideration.
