Best website for lacing patterns?
Besides Sheldon, are there any good websites out there that show different lacing patterns for different spoke count wheels?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks guys. I plan on doing a 24 front 28 rear wheel build and needed some reference material.

What are your goals and constraints?
Whatever they are, standard spoke cross patterns are best. That's why they're standard. Radial spoking is a fad with no advantage.

Many times, radial-spoked wheels are seen on commercially produced bicycles. These companies have, through their marketing departments, sold the consumer a bill of goods telling us they "look cool." Really - that's a common response. In truth - they are cheap to produce and adds to their profits.
Don't believe the hype.

Heh. I figured the first post after mine would be a flame. I'm glad I was wrong.
I don't have any experience with 24 or 28 spoke wheels but I imagine 1-cross and 2-cross would be best. Not sure you can even do 3-cross with a 24 spoke wheel.
Hmm, I probably have done 28 spoke wheels but on 20-inch rims.
