D D.E.T. Chimp Jan 21, 2004 90 3 NC Jun 7, 2007 #3 It depends on how you want you wheels laced. 2x is 2 intersections, 3x is 3 intersections and so on. The most common for a 36 spoke wheel is 3x.

K kezajones Chimp May 19, 2007 24 0 Jun 7, 2007 #4 oh cool thanks, so can i go with 4 intersections on a 36h rim or does it only work with 48h?
