better if you use a lot of spokes
36 and 48 lend them selves to crows foot groups of 3, 1 Radial and 2 2cross..

and the 4 leading 4 trailing is probably best left for 48 spoke..

For most riding the low spoke count wheel is, itself, decorative.

Rohloff is a 32 spoke hub, Ive seen them drilled another 16 times
and a radial spoke added ..

I have a Campag Hi Low flange hub, its gone a long time,un touched.
novel lacing was to make the spoke length more different
by using 18 4 cross spokes, and the other 18 3 cross.
