Echo-Scott Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Basically, I want to go Double disc and i absolutely hate how the back wheel flex's with a disc brake.I know ill need either a 3x or a 4x build to just be strong enough to take the power of the disc. But which pattern will reduce the flex the most in the wheel.Im also aware a strong build in general will be important. But putting that aside. Which build will be stronger without any other factors to depend upon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 4 cross will be the strongest as the spokes are at more of an angle, which in turn will stop/dampen flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people use 3X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
