Jan 31, 2021 at 10:39 comment added cmaster - reinstate monica @Klaster_1 Which does not make any sense at all: It means that the entire brake force will be transmitted via the brake side spokes, putting twice the stress on them as a symmetrically laced wheel would. People like to play around with weird lacing patterns, but in the end the boring old regular three-cross symmetric patterns provides the strongest wheels.

Mar 27, 2017 at 19:44 comment added Paolo Goatspeed I see the point about crossing to avoid stretch/deforming of the wheel when braking, interesting. Thanks
Mar 27, 2017 at 19:42 comment added Paolo Goatspeed Hi, thanks for the answer. Yes, I have built several wheels, normally tricrossed for discs, and once 1 radial, but for a city non disc bike.
