I'M running into some "inter-web" discrepancies with lacing up a powertap to a 303 rim. I've read that Zipp doesn't recommend a 3x pattern for the 303's ( two places) not from Zipp. That the Drive side on a PT is considered the side without the Cassette ( I know that's where it reads) .
PT manual rec. minimum of 2x. Would I be safe with 2x left and right?. Any factual info or experience welcomed.
I would call the respective companies but it's the weekend and want to get it done.
Thanks

With a carbon rim you need to keep the angle that the spoke enters the rim as straight as possible. With the very large flange and 3x lacing you would really be pushing the limit with the angle of the spoke at the rim. You should have no problem with 2x lacing on both sides.
