Did the same sort of thing as Gaston on my 'light' fixed rear wheel, but with 3-cross DS, radial heads-in NDS, and missed every other NDS spoke to use a 24h rim. Also, 16x 14mm alloy nipples on DS, but 8x 12mm brass nipples on NDS.
Feels radially and laterally stiffer than any other fixed rear wheel I own, despite being my lightest by far, and has at least four fewer spokes.
(Spokes are Alpina DBs, rim is Kinlin XR-19W, brass nipples are Alpina, alloy nipples are Sapim).
