36hole 4 cross the first cross is the spoke on the opposite side of the flange but it's separated by the flange and headed to the opposite side of the rim . weave cross is the last one..

S-A 36 hole drum brake freewheel hub Quite dished , 4 x works adequately.

maybe if the rim was small? 32hole R'off 3 cross would work ( flange more durable, like 4x,36) in a 26" they recommend 2 cross, in a 20" wheel 1 cross ..

My 28 hole Shimano Brompton dyno-hub, 1X, 20" SON 32 hole is 3 cross..

36 is also divisible by 3 .. so crows foot , a radial with 2 , 2X spokes as a group of 3; another 3 on the other side, 6 groups of 6.. something different ..


2 or 3 cross? either..
