My Brompton is utilitarian .. Front Dynamo hub is German.. & I'm in the States .. (obviously not United)
I bought a Bike Friday Tikit they fitted a 36 hole IGH and laced it 2 cross to a 24 hole rim, skipping every 3rd hole..
being a gear hub its large flange.. 2 cross is at a tangent , 1st cross just outside of the hub flange.So confirming hole skipping is done..
the German works built wheel : not shown the all silver hub.
