So, the only improvements sticking to more of, thicker, or higher lacings (3x) of spokes on the heavier loaded side would only add to a higher stiffness?
And the only improvements lighter, fewer, or lower lacings of spokes on the less loaded side would be a lower weight and (marginally) improved aerodynamics?
I am trying to learn more and understand the principles behind wheel building here, so when I question something, it is an actual question.
I also am looking at different spokings factory wheels come in and trying to understand the reasoning behind them, and learning from reading wheel building books, trying things and learning from failures and some success, discussing them, trying to expand my understanding.
I would still love to try a wheel with no offset with DT Alpine and DT Revolution spokes on either side, just to see for myself, to learn trying.
