I'm probably going to be collecting parts for a phil/deep-v wheelset soon but I'm not sure on how I should lace them. I'll probably get 32 front 36 rear but I don't know what kind of spokes I should use or what length I will need.
I figure that I better do 3x in the back but I find front radially laced wheels so nice to look at, I'm just not sure of their strength. I weigh 145 pounds (around 160 when loaded up with lock etc.) so I was thinking that butted spokes could keep the weight down and push the cool factor up.

If anyone has any spokes they can reccomend in particular it would be helpful (also if they come in packs of ~72) and also any advice for the lacing and length. thanks
