2-cross Lace pattern
What death will ensue if I 2 cross my rear wheel? I can't seem to find any information about it online... Considering I'm a pew'ny guy weighting in at only 130lbs (On a good day) and I'm not into the skidz...
Will all hell break loose if I lace my rear track wheel in a 2-cross pattern? (Side note: yes I am aware that I should lace in a 3-cross because it is stronger, however the spokes to complete a 3-cross require me to wait... Which I am fine with doing if 2-cross=death...but I like keeping myself busy so I would prefer to dabble in another wheel build over waiting another week.) |
Probably not death but less efficient power transfer (hub to rim via spox...)
Wait and do it right. |
2x
some hub/rim combo's necessitate a 2X patern.
if your rims and hubs are 32H, just use 3X. |
you'll be fine.

I had a set of 32h DP-18 laced in a 2x pattern a few years ago. Never had any problems with my 125 lbs. Occasionally truing, nothing extreme.
