Hypothetical Build:
6700 Rear Hub 36h (because I have it)
Velocity A23 OC 36h (unobtainable right now hence the hypothetical nature of this build)
Sapim Cx-Ray 298mm for both NDS and DS in a 4-cross pattern both sides. (Currently less than €2 each in a box of 20 from bike-components)

Would this be a good build for a tourer / Audax wheel build?

I struggled with spoke windup when I used 1.5mm spokes previously, thinking the cx-rays would help me out there due to the profile.

How much do you weigh? How much load on the bike? What terrain?

3x tends to be plentiful for the most part, send people on world tours 32x 1/2x for Rohloff 26” wheels.

Symmetric hubs build into stronger wheels than offset ones. And they specify max. 2 cross only because it’s a necessity considering the size of the hub :)
