Wheelbuilding / Wheel Building / Wheel build help

So while doing some research I found that some builders used different techniques in lacing or spoke thickness's to create a more balanced tension on both sides,

Tension balance is purely a function of wheel geometry, spoke cross section has no influence. Using larger cross section spokes does increase wheel stiffness, and this can be useful on the drive side of road wheels, which are inherently low in axial stiffness thanks to the poor bracing angle. Changing the lacing pattern doesn't change this enough to be worthwhile, unless the flanges are very large compared with the ERD

The correct way to solve the problem is to use a larger number of spokes than the non-drive side, rather than using the same number but thicker.
