I am having my wheels rebuilt for my East Coaster and was asked whether I want them to cross once or twice. Originally they were once but was informed:
"The original wheels were built with the spokes just crossing once, but I can see that the new front hub you gave me, has previously been built with the spokes crossing twice.
The cross one pattern is pretty naff and the spokes tend to come loose after a while. It would be a better job if I cross the spokes twice. (On both wheels)".
Does it make any difference having them crossing twice if it is better?
