18 Hole Rim on a 36 Hole Hub - Is it possible? or is it just plain stupid?...

Thanks for any replies,

I know someone who rocks a 32 hole hub laced radially with bladed spokes to a 16 hole Deep V.

It's possible. Just skip every other hole. On a hub with really thin flanges, you might run into strength issues, but I don't see that as being a very likely problem.

Just don't use tension....it'll be fine.
