2 cross spoke help
help i just finished a wheel with 2 cross. Does this pattern go over one spoke and under the next, or is it over over. I have an old sturney archer dyno hub that is 3 x on one side and 2 x on the other and it is over over. but it could be wrong?

Just the last cross.. furthest from the hub..
I rebuilt my Rohloff , they are specifying, either 2 cross or 1 cross,
depending on rim size..
the 2nd inner cross is unnecessary , but if the old sturmey wheel still works leave it be.
Spoke weaving, at all, is somewhat optional..
old dyno hubs were quite dissimilar in flange diameter, too..

You're not weaving a basket. On any pattern, 2x 3x 4x outer spokes stay to the outside and inner to the inside until the outermost cross where they're laced over/under.
The lacing isn't absolutely necessary, but it adds some resilience by bending each spoke slightly and allowing them to transfer some stress to each other as the wheel is loaded.
