Well, it looks like the first thing you'd have to do would be to
locate some 38 hole rims.

Those are SCARCE.

I'd go with the artsy 3-leading, 3-trailing, of course with one instance
of 4-trailing on each side.

It is imperative that that be 4 /trailing/, or else you wheel will warp,
your tires go flat, and your belly button fall off.

PS - be sure to lubricate the spokes with freshly churned buffalo
butterfat chilled to precisely 2 degrees C. To keep it from warming
before the wheel is finished, it is best to perform the wheel building
in a walk-in refrigerator.

Hope that helps,

Mark J.

Didn't one of the better-selling Mavic front wheels come with 19
spokes? Just use one of those inexpensive and commonly available
replacement rims and skip every second hole in the hub.

A Mavic factory wheel is a prime product. Just ask any salesperson at
your local cycling boutique.

but with a total of 19 spokes, that an un-equal number on each side.
spokes need to be 1:1 [or maybe 2:1 if dished]. i know of no wire
spoked wheels deviating from this ratio, not even mavic.

I'm telling you, Mavic's goes to eleven. Or in this case, nineteen.

That's what makes it unique, patented, laterally stiff yet vertically
compliant, unprecedentedly aerodynamic, vibration-damping, powerfully
erotic, and all the other wonderful things we have come to expect from
that company in recent years. How would the spokes be able to operate
in both tension and compression if there were some tiresomely mundane
_even_ number of them?
