the spoke pattern does not have much aero effect, but aero spokes does. years back they had oval spokes. I had a front wheel built with 32 spokes with a semi aero rim. If you just spin a front wheel you can hear the turbulance of from the spokes. spinning my aero spoke wheel is definately quieter than conventional spokes and yes, this wheel is fast. I was able to hit 50 mph with the aero wheel. conventional wheel got up to 46mph.
