A guy I was riding with the other week had a 1x laced front wheel. Instead of alternating elbows in/out all of them were pointed out.
It looks like this:
Are there any disadvantage or issues of doing it this way?
Also, in a front wheel does it matter which spoke crosses on the outside of the other? From looking at that pic on the side we are looking at the "left" spoke crosses over the right one, but if we flip the wheel around the "right" spoke would cross over the left one.
