I have built a set of MTB wheels with these hubs. They are 2-cross (the 24-hole version anyway)


So I went ahead on that, and yes, the 24hole Goldix hub is indeed angled for 2-cross.
However the 28hole rear hub that I bought at same time, from same vendor, is angled for 3-cross.
So I have some Pillar 1423 bladed spokes going spare: 267mm & 264mm 16 of each.
Yours for the cost of postage - UK only

The one "upside" of this is that 3 cross on 50mm deep rear rim turns out to require same spoke lengths as the 45mm deep front rim, so not as many spares to buy.

A daytime light that goes on a Garmin outfront mount, points out to both sides.
Can piggy-back a Garmin directly on top (like the much more spendy Ravemen)
And it's a 5000mAh powerbank

Can anyone help me?
I've only ever built with J-Bend spokes and aluminium rims before but now I've just got some nice carbon rims to build up (Front 24H / Rear 28H)
One of the hubs I'm considering is the Goldix R180 but it is straight-pull spokes and although I can get dimensioned drawings of the hubs, the one piece of information I cannot find is whether the spoke holes are angled for 2-cross, 3-cross or something else?
Anyone out these with any input ?
