That's interesting that Brandt suggests outbound pulling (I don't know of Musson).

Overall, if one is willing to go with the Dork Disc (and the more threads I read on it make me think it's worth it alone on the chance of that one freak occurrence), the added offset of drive-side pulling spokes outbound seems to build the stronger wheel, with no real drawbacks.

If I do that, what are the thoughts on the non-drive side? Better to have the pulling spokes inbound, to make the offsets more symmetrical and therefore more even-tensioned (I'm inclined to go this route)? Or to run the non-drive side pulling spokes outbound as well? What do Brandt and Musson have to say on that?

Thanks!
