Unlike you to disagree with Shimano.
Edit: I misunderstood your comment. Yeah, assuming that I build it properly I am not expecting that I'll be breaking spokes left/right/centre but might as well get it right in the first instance.
You think it's fine then?

Yes.

No, that can only really happen with the FSA RD-600 or the even rarer Lew VT1 wheels, or God's Cog hubs. You can tell what a brilliant idea the centre flange was by the fact that only a company as large and diverse as FSA was able to recover from the embarrassment :)

I'm with Sheldon on this one. I've seen arguments for the other way, but I think they address a problem which doesn't actually manifest in properly built wheels over a normal lifespan, whereas pulling the interleaved crossing away from the brake caliper and dérailleur cage does seem to work.
