Today I was building just the front wheel for a Nomu Lab Wheels #5 order,
and I built it with a different nupoke lacing pattern than the hanging method.
Regarding nupoke radial lacing, I think the merits and demerits are pretty evenly balanced.
Almost all commercially available wheels with bent-spoke specifications are built with anti-nupoke lacing in radial pattern.
With my own personal wheels, unless there are conditions unsuitable for nupoke—like thick hub flanges or rims over 50mm—I always build with nupoke. But I'm not sure about pushing that on other people, so the Nomu Lab Wheels radial lacing uses anti-nupoke pattern. There are cases where you have to build anti-nupoke, but the reverse rarely happens. For example, the front wheel I did recently with 63H couldn't be built with nupoke.
But if someone asks me to build it with nupoke, I'll build it with nupoke.
（Unless it's impossible or inadvisable, in which case I won't）Or among my cycling buddies, if someone entrusts me completely with their wheel building and it ends up being nupoke without them asking—that does happen. That's partly experimental too. Hehehehe.
If you'd prefer nupoke lacing, please let me know beforehand.
If it's possible, I'll do it.
