I get you. Thanks!
One more thing, struggling to find anywhere that will slot the Mavic 520 hub I got, know of anywhere in London that might be able to do it?

It's not 1990 any more. The skills don't exist in bike shops, and the liability which comes with modifying components is unattractive to any business operating in a litigious age in which courts directed by nanny states won't uphold waiver contracts between businesses and individual consumers.

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.
