So I could only find a rear dura-ace hub in a 28 hole drilling. Now its time to pick a pattern. I would like to do something visually interesting as well as structurally sound, and was interested to see what other would suggest. Obviously half radial, 1X, and 2X are the majority of my options. Does anyone know any interesting variations and if so could they post a link. Thanks- happily upgrading from suzue to dura-ace

I think you'd have to invent something new. 28 rules out 2 and 3 leading/trailing, and to my knowledge, the crow's foot and common variations.

Do a crow's foot. I would have done a hybrid crow's foot on my rear wheel but its my first wheel so I decided against it.

the only crows foot that I could do with a 28 hole would be a two set crows foot, 14 holes on each side, nly multiple is 2 and 7 so 2 sets that would have 7 spokes, which only leaves 2 radial spokes on each side, 4 total, is that enough to hold up on a rear? I've heard that you need at least 7 radials.
