Spoke Crossing
I'm building a rear wheel with a Weinmann deep 'V' rim and a Sturmey
Archer hub. The rim dia. is 577mm, the hub dia. is 65mm, the hub flange width is 55mm and it's a 28H. My weight is about 160lb and I'll just be doing regular road riding on this bike. Can I do 3 cross, or would it be better to use 2 cross? TIA. Lewis. *****

Cross-two is generally better for 28 hole, being close to the same degree of tangency as 36 spokes laced cross-three. With a high- flanged hub like yours, the angle of insertion to the rim is much better with cross-two lacing. Chalo
