why not stay at 20 spokes for disc
Because a 20H disc hub would never work. Oh, hang on...
http://www.wheelsmith.co.uk/product-page/wheelsmith-20h-front-6-bolt-disc-hub-quick-release-onlyI'm a bit surprised that a narrow 20H hub is an improvement over a wide 16H hub, and it wouldn't even need to be full width with that rim depth considering how reliable my Shimano RS30s have been with 16 spokes of 3.0×0.9 cross section.
Someone will try to copy it I'm sure :D
