2 questions for the hive mind,

1 - Flat head v dome head spokes, aesthetic difference or a functional one? Flat head better on low spoke count non radial lacing as spokes may cross the heads of others?

2 - 28h 3 cross, mutually exclusive or just a bit harder due to aforementioned spokes crossing others spoke’s heads?

If you'll pardon the expression, how large is your flange?
Got a rear Novatec track hub (62mm hole circle dia.) laced 3 cross to 88mm China carbon, and it's fine. Close, but the spokes don't cross each other's heads (CX-Rays).
Going to roll the dice on a 3-cross rear 28h DA HB7600/60mm carbon build in future.

Don't have the parts to hand as it's a wheelbuild I'm doing for a mate but I don't think as big as a Novatec or DA 7600.

Going to go 2x just to be safe.

Cheers.
