evening spoke dished wheel tension by using 3x DS and 2x NDS. Surely it can't even it out that much
Actually, doing it that way makes the tension imbalance worse. Mavic and maybe one or two others lace some of their boxed wheels crossed on the NDS and radial on the DS to marginally improve the tension balance, relying on a torsionally stiff hub shell to transfer drive torque from right to left without winding up the wheel too much. In the end, the right way to solve the problem is to have more spokes on the DS, e.g. Campag G3, Shimano OptBal, various 24-spoke rears with 16:8 lacing etc.

So I've just had a convo with a certain @eldweebio about evening spoke dished wheel tension by using 3x DS and 2x NDS. Surely it can't even it out that much? C'mon who else does this apart from the BC brigade? Own up.
