Spoking Pattern:
Three-Cross: The most common spoking pattern is The most common spoking pattern is "three"three--cross" where each spoke crosses three cross" where each spoke crosses three others on the same flange of the hub before meeting others on the same flange of the hub before meeting the rim.the rim.

Two-Cross: Here the spokes do not cross each other, saves roughly the weight of two spokes, because the spokes are shorter as compared to a three-cross wheel used for hubs with large- diameter flanges.

Four-cross: These are standard for spoke counts of 40 and above used in motorcycle Wheels.

Spoke length:
The correct length of spokes required can be calculated using rim diameter, hub flange diameter, hub width, lacing pattern, and number of spokes.
www.superiormcsupply.com
These calculations can be done either by hand or by using a computer.An alternative method is to refer to a table, which has the spoke lengths for a number of common hub and rim combinations.

Spoke Metal:
The wheel rims are usually steel or aluminum that is steel spokes and an aluminum hub or mag-type cast or machined aluminum.
