Hope that works for starters.
May I say, WOW... 11.4 I wonder, how this site would be without your vast knowledge and expertise. The rear hub is fixed/fixed so you pretty much answered my question for the rear lacing pattern. As for the front, I am probably just going to lace a 3x and be done with it. Or I might be brave and try a 2x with tie/soldering. Depending on my manual skills this has yet to be determined. I need to do more research on that method. Just so I won't f*** anything up.
Much appreciated,
