From: A Coffin Called Earth. or Toronto, ON

doing all leading, all trailing would be like making a bridge with an "S" shaped middle section, with the supports only at the tips. It's balanced when there's no load on it, but once the load is put on anywhere outside the centerline, it'll twist out of shape.

how about 3 leading, 3 trailing? (or 2, 2 for a 32h)
or crow's foot...
