I'm no expert, but...
I thought high flange would make it harder to have that many crosses, as you have less space between hub and rim, therefore you have to have an angle closer to being tangential to the hub.
I learned a cool rule for the max. number of crosses, its the maximum number of times 9 will go into the number of spokes.
36 and above - 4x
32 - 3x
28 - 3x
24 - 2x
20 - 2x
I would love to see a 48-spoke, 5x wheel.
