Roger Musson in his book on the other hand suggests using the same number of spokes on both, what is your view on that?
Schneider disagrees. He says if you've got the same spoke count front and rear you either have too many spokes on the front or too few on the rear. Given that most of your weight is on the rear wheel that makes sense to me.

That make a lot of sense, thanks! I might look into 24-spoke hubs then. You seem to generally put fewer spokes on the front wheel, which is not uncommon in general, I think - Roger Musson in his book on the other hand suggests using the same number of spokes on both, what is your view on that?
That they definitely are!
