I am thinking of comparing combinations of lacing patterns, rider weight, and spoke material/diameter.
This is better than reinventing the wheel in a few weeks. How doing a comparision on wheel strength, repeating jobst brandts study on spoke tying efficiency.
Wheel strength, stiffness, different spokes, different rims, differing spoke tension ... the effect of a broken spoke given varying rider weight. There's a billion permutations here.
