Additionally.. Three leading three trailing is a neat way to build wheels! No benefit persay, but I'm convinced that they are almost as strong as regular 3x, having built a few sets this way. The wheels on my tall bike are built up that way, and they take a LOT of stress, and do just fine. Of course they have beefy 14g spokes, and are 36 hole on steel rims.

peace,
sam
