3 cross or 4 cross

(1/3) > >>

Glen:
Am I right in thinking this is 4 cross spoke pattern?  seeing as 4 spokes cross eachother?

SaMAlex:
Yep  :daumenhoch:

mileyboy:
what length spokes are they? 194?

I think alot of bikes use 3 cross cos they are easier to build / easier to replace spokes.
4 Cross is said to be stronger, but I dont know how much difference it really makes.  :-\

Daletsunami:
isn't 3 cross with 184 sized spokes and large flange hubs?

I've built all my wheels with large flange like this and then used 194 to lace up small flanged hubs with a 4 cross patern
