  • But radial lacing almost any 32 hole hub is unadvisable. So if you want that many spokes for practical reasons, 28 2x would be less likely to-fail, lighter, and stay true longer. If youre doing it for looks, you've missed by a long chalk (but thats just MHO).

    I'm sure the reality is that they hold up fine, and only weigh 25g more than a 28 2x. Its just one of my personal niggles.

    is that specifically 32 hole is unadvisable or all radials in general?

    I was questioning the symmetrical point made by others: Front wheel ≠ rear wheel.

    They shouldn't look the same, should they?
