Is it possible and beneficial to rebuild stock 02 Honda hubs, excell rims and custom hd spokes using a cross three pattern? One Denver shop with a reasonably good reputation (Woody's Wheel Works) says yes to all the above.
Most wheel sets using excell or talon hubs use a cross three pattern. g White Bros web site web catalog illustrates this pretty well. I have not found using just excell rims to be much of an improvement over Honda oem takasago or did units. http://www.whitebros.com/CompletesectionPDFS/wheels24.pdf
