  • Tester due in 3...2...1...

    That's how mine were laced at the time, although I didn't have the fairings on my CX18s 🙂

    Thanks. Any reason why I shouldn't request this lacing pattern for a low flange track hub set up?

    Track hubs have less, or no, dish, so the NDS spoke tension will be the same or only slight less than the DS. Some hubs don't deal well with high tension radial lacing. Also, crossings are driven by spoke count. John has 28, which will comfortably take 3X on small flange hubs in low depth 700 rims. 2X in that case trades some loss of torsional stiffness for a small gain in axial stiffness, which might be a worthwhile trade on a highly dished road wheel but a bit pointless on a track hub.
