Option 5: 12k twill

Looking at different carbon patterns trying to figure out which one I would like on my future bike.
I am torn between a few. Especially 12k twill and that x weave. So pretty and they tinkle
Let me know if I missed any.... Share your favorite and why!
A standard 3k weave is classic. I think a wasp weave on the new style wavy aero wheels would look hot though!
I think that "painless" finish that Light Bicycle offers is dope. I'm sure others offer something similar

Is that the hexagonal weave.
Yes, hexagonal, honeycomb, wasp, all look the same thing as far as google image search for me.
I like UD Matte on frames. I had some Yoeleo wheels that were 18k weave and really liked that look!
I just discovered the 3k twill at 30° that elite wheels has. I am having a hard time picking between that, the 12k twills, and the x weave. I am leaning x weave because I am a bigger riders. and its supposed to be stronger. the twirly-ness of the 3k twill at 30° is just fun. I need to make a choice very soon... mmm

The finish (3K, 12K, etc) is just a veneer, and does not affect the overall strength of the rim.
I wouldn't stress over it much, and just pick the finish that tickles your fancy

The problem is I like the xweave, the 12k twill, and the angled 3k twill...

In that case, of the ones you like, my vote goes to x-weave.
Has a nice "edgy" look, that the tradition weaves lack

Edgy isnt the word I would use... Satisfying is the word I would use. I think it sparkles better and is more satisfying To see it shift in the light because of the bigger sections of weave. I was already leaning that way. its just 80 bucks more. I broke down and spent it. Because it will be more fun. Maybe I should do a transparent pink or some thing on them. That will take the edge off. lol
