24 spokes on a 36 hole rim
|I just want to ask any body if it's ok to put only 24 spokes on a rim with 36 holes in it|? I just want to make it look good on fewer spokes.

Nope, no good. The 36 hole rim is specifically designed to have 36 spokes, and anything less is a hazard.

what if you have a 24-hole hub? I've been curious about this also. I haven't actually bought anything, but it would be cool to see.
