24 hole track hubs..

Does anyone make them?

Would lacing a 36 hole hub doing 2 spokes every 3 holes work?

i'm no expert, but i wouldn't put 24 spokes on a 36h hub. i mean...the weight load, the distribution on the flanges with the holes...might be okay, but i sure wouldn't trust it.

Skipping holes in a hub is generally not too bad but you may have some funny spoke length variations to deal with, depending on the number of crosses you are going for.

I've done 24 hole rims with 36 hole hubs.

here is a page on how to calculate spoke length.

or you can just add 1-2mm to your length for a 24/24 combo.

The guy I trust in wheel building says that doing 2 spokes every 3 holes is OK. Anyway, it is like 50% more load at a flange.

I've seen a couple examples of people doing mismatched hub/wheel lacings. They usually did it with the crow's foot lacing pattern, so it looked more symmetrical.

My approach would be to do a modified crow's foot for a 24h hub. Four crow's feet per flange, with the radial being the appropriate lengths, and the crosses being the lengths for a 36h 2.5X.

DW, Yeah, I know.
I don't have money to buy Deep carbon rims...I have a set of Generic 48mm ones that are 20-24...was hoping to change the rear rim to a front and make due with it...
hopefully I can get something for them on eBay

You could always swap your 36 hole hub innards to the shell of this one:
