Seasons Greetings and all that. Now back to the proper stuff.
Need some advice on spoke patterns - got a pair of 36 hole Mavic 501 hubs and some Wolber Profil20 rims that are off to the LBS for building up. Not a fan of fussy lacing patterns so I want advice on what I can ask for on the rear wheel (front will be radial pattern).
In a perfect world I'd want the rear done as radial so my first question is can this be a realistic option? (I weigh about 60kg) and my Shamal's are done as such - can it be replicated with the Mavic hubs?
If not, then can I have one side done as radial and one side as 2-cross? And if so which side would be radial? I ask as I have a pair of Spinergy's with such a pattern (2-cross on the NDS) but I appreciate that those are modern wheels and have been designed to accept that pattern.
Any suggestions on what spokes to request would also be appreciated.
Cheers in advance.
