Sorry, old school no experience with straight spoke builds only 3 or 4 cross. The tension on a straight spoke build is much greater than the X build. Usually custom spokes are required. My experience goes back to pre 1970's where the spokes were sub par because of manufacturing methods used. Good luck. Deanster04!
