hi. i am building a double-sided fixed gear hub for the first time. 3-cross 32 holes. what is the strongest way to lace it since there are two drive sides? should i just lace the pulling spokes head out for each drive side? it seems less strong than a single drive wheel. can a wheel expert tell me if my flip-flop hub actually makes an inferior wheel?
