Edit, can you even do 2x on a 20h hub?

Yep, although it's the most you'd want to do.

Alrighty... Got the front wheel laced up but based on the existing spoke divots I can't place the valve where I'd like.

Everywhere I read online stated the TB14 to be center drilled, which mine are not 😕... So it's not allowing me to place the spoke in the hole I want to... Ugh

:roflmao2: yup.....
I remember when I laced the Archetype, I had the same issue because it is not center drilled.
But I got right after re-doing it.

I followed the tips from Sheldon Brown to start from the hole next to the valve hole.
