Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Excellent illustration and much better than any written explanation.

I agree with the recommendation that any 36H wheel be laced 3X. There is no point to saving a trivial amount of weight or minor aerodynamic improvements with a utilitarian wheel.
