Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If I build up my paired spoke hub, I'm going to lace the drive side like a conventional wheel, then adjust the lengths of the non drive spokes to match that. Radial non drive would be easiest to calculate, but I don't think it's stable with a mixed drilled wheel. If I can find a rim with the same ERD, I'll only need to buy 14 spokes

If you can't do it in space, get a large piece of paper like a dress maker would.

Trace the rim (ID or OD is OK, you'll compensate for ERD later). Draw the hub in the middle, and locate the spoke holes for each flange together. To help keep it straight make make one set of holes red and the other green (or whatever you have). Do that in Ink. Then lightly sketch in your spoke plan for both flanges, until you've visualized the entire wheel.

Measure the spoke lengths and compensate for ERD. Then add 1mm for over/under lacing (if you do so) and 1mm for every 10mm of non-flatness (CTF). You'll be within 1mm if you work carefully.
