i dont know shit about wheels.
that said i can notice my 24 spoke radially laced mavic aksium flexing on the front when i trackstand wheras i dont when i do the same with my 32 3x on a formula to ambrosio front wheel.
all that says to me is that it isnt as laterally strong, which is something that isnt usually taken into consideration when building wheels but perhaps should be on a bike which will be used for trakstanding.
there are several things that i believe should be taken into consideration when choosing a wheel build, use, weight and spoke count and if you go to a good wheel builder then they will take all of these into consideration.
