(above) Zero-cross, does not necessarily mean zero-angle. Many bikes with very large diameter hub motors use 0X by necessity, but the spokes are not radial, but are angled. Same with motorcycle hubs, where hubs and rims are much closer in size, that typical bike hubs versus rims. It is not the cross per se that allows transmission of torque from the hub to the wheel, but the spoke angle other than pure radial.
