What is the name of this lacing
so there's a picture i found..
And I think that the lacing done on the front wheel is pretty rad. It doesn't look like it's a special rim, just looks like a deep v?
Maybe i'm stupid, I didn't really know how to search for this as I don't know the name of this kind of lacing..
thanks for the help

There's a wheel skewer to keep tension between the scissors, i.e., 90degrees. Remove skewer to fold (air too I guess).

so to answer the op's question, it's the front from the velocity spartacus wheelset. it is just a deep v rim, but it's specially drilled for that wheelset, you can't just lace up a regular deep v like that. the hub is also specially designed for that lacing pattern, so you can't just lace up a regular hub like that either. very proprietary.
thank you for answering the question!
to someone who said they were feeling it, it's supposedly Keo Curry's newest bike as found on macaframaproductions.com
