Subject: spoke lacing question for jobst
in your book, and again recently on this forum, you have stated that
interleaving spokes when lacing makes for a better wheel. "To make them
tough, they must be interleaved when lacing the spokes" you recently said.

what is the mechanism for how this works? and is tying and soldering
not an extension of this same principle?

Any construction of triangles or triangles within trusses is stronger
with shorter legs and more fixed triangles.
But what this does to a hanging torque rod suspension system, in
dividing the total function in half. ????
