2x DS/ rad N-DS is the industry standard on freewheel hubs - get industrial dude.

Any advice welcome!
Get a wider rim than an Open Pro.
3X all round for 32spokes, if it's not broken don't try to fix it. You're not searching for marginal gains on a racing wheel, you're trying to build something you can forget about for a few years.

Hi, I'm building a new rear wheel for my cross/road bike but I'm dithering a bit of a lace pattern. I've got a 32h Halo Supa Drive hub and will (probably) use an Open Pro - although if anyone's got any recommendations on road rims in a similar price range let me know!
In the past I've just done 3x for my rear wheels but thought of maybe being a bit more adventuress and going x3 or maybe even 2x drive and radial none drive? Or 1x none drive?
I'm only about 55kgs and I figure as it's 32h this shouldn't be a problem and I've got another wheelset I'll use for more everyday/off road riding - although it's hardly a weight weenie bike and obviously I don't want to be popping spokes after 800 miles.
Any advice welcome!
