I think the flange spacing and sizes on the G3 make them easier to build up than the older Powertap hubs, but that's not necessarily saying much. My SL+ hub was a total swine to build, given that the DS spokes are almost vertical, with the result that the NDS spokes are at less than half the spoke tension of the DS spokes. In hindsight I should've probably gone 2x on the NDS and 1x on the DS, although the 2x on both seems OK now it's settled in a bit. I don't know if that still applies to the G3 though, with their different geometry.
Hmmm, not much help at all that really...
