I have been building a 32h wheel with 8 groups of 4 spokes.
The eBay guy that sold me the rims told me that you can build it as "normal" with all spokes the same length.
I calculated them to be 289mm. I had 288mm at home so build then like that
I found out that when laced 3x, the 2 spokes on the outside of the group of 4 need to be 4mm shorter and the 2 spokes on the inside of the group of 4 need to be 2mm shorter.
So instead of 289mm, it should be 285mm + 287mm.
I hope this comes handy for people trying to build those!
