Disclaimer: this has been asked and nearly answered, but I'm still missing some detail.
I have a symmetrical rim with offset spoke holes (Spank Spoon 32, 26", 32 holes, see pic) which I want to lace to my existing DT Swiss rear hub. There are two ways of lacing this (given the usual 3-cross lacing pattern):
Version 1 (increased bracing angle) - drive-side spokes laced to left-side holes, non-drive-side spokes laced to right-side holes. Increased spoke bending near rim, but laterally stiffer wheel.
Version 2 (reduced bracing angle) - DS spokes are laced to right-side holes, NDS spokes laced to left-side holes. Less spoke bending near the rim, at the cost of a laterally weaker wheel.
I believe version 2 is the default, because manufacturers want to avoid the common failure mode of spokes breaking just below the nipple. However, Sapim manufactures nipples with a hemispherical head which should alleviate this issue (by enabling the whole nipple to bend in line with the rest of the spoke), so long as there is enough tolerance between the nipple and the rim hole for the nipple to actually bend as intended.
So: I'm inclined towards trying "version 1", although it's unconventional. Does anybody have experience with this? Is it a bad idea?
