Most of those wheels are twisted twice, no?

I read somewhere, I think in one of the the several books about wheelbuilding, that twisted spoke patterns are not as strong as standard 3 cross...but that its better for you kids to spend time building twisted spoke wheels than doing crack.

I've got one laced like that to a rear chub, and it's been fine for a damn long time now. Stiff as ****. The theory behind it sounds kooky ("virtual flange"?), but I'm a fan of the results.
