personaly im against raidal spokes... as all u guys are saying to many flat spots buckes, like the way the spoke tension is pulling is pretty crap, and expample would be like some road bikes...front wheel is radial laced, rear is radial apart from drive side which is generally 2 cross pattern and the force from the drive side would pull apart the spokes off the rim....so
radial= poo!

lacing patern whell if ur specially running v brakes or rim brakes 2cross is the best choice for lacing, but is ur running disc brakes,
but generally 3 cross is the good all arounder..
the patteres were u twirst spokes i call 'snowflake' i see a fair bit on wheelchairs and stuff, looks trick but is mainly for the 'wank' factor as it looks awesome and yeah that bout it.

hm...tieing/binding wheels is awesome super stiff, and u can get heaps of different colour bind to match any colour sceme, not really good for dh, but sick for XC,
