3x or 4x lacing

(1/1)

Avro:
I am in the process of rebuilding a set of wheels for a build. The wheels had pair or high flange hubs laced to 36 hole Ukai box rims in a 4x pattern. I am lacing the rims to low flange hubs. I would like to try 4x but worry about the conjestion at the hub, particularly with the low flange hubs. I have always laced 3x but keen to try 4x. Anyone laced low flange and 4x?

Can't see it been an issue mate,did it on my Hoffman flash.Rear was a low flange suzue flip flop hub laced to 7x rim.

Chilli Rinse:
Give it a go  :daumenhoch: I laced a pair of Ukai 20x1 3/8 to low flange sealed Suzue hubs in 4 cross pattern. Turned out fine with no issues, got to get them properly trued now  :LolLolLolLol:

CustardLips:
Ive built a few wheelsets in 4x Peter...  not really much congestion once they've been trued.  :daumenhoch:

Thank fook you're not building 48's eh.  :LolLolLolLol:

Picklez:
Yeah, it'll be fine, go for it Peter  :daumenhoch:
