Spoke-Patterns-Lacing
I'm getting a really good deal on a 48hole hubset that I can't turn down, but I definitely don't want that many spokes! Does anyone know any effective lacing patterns for 48h but having to use maybe half the spoke count and what spoke count rims would I need then ? I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

I have to disagree. I vote for 48 gold spokes, radially laced in the front. That would be amazing looking. Then you could almost compete with jonb.
