Standard three-cross was recommended by many, so that is what I used. Pulling spokes are on the outside of the flange, trailing spokes on the inside...but apparently there is no clear agreement on whether that is best, not best, or, "it matters not."

Lacing was challenging at first (as evidenced by the help I sought on this thread!), but my second wheel laced up without a problem. I think I had so much practice taking apart and trying again on the first one that I became proficient with the pattern.
