Hey, i am planning to build two disc gravel wheelsets. Intended use is daily business on road and gravel as well as loaded bikepacking. I have a few questions about spokes and lacing:

1st set:
rider weight: 68kg
alu rims
28h
DT swiss 350 hubs

Regarding spokes, I am contemplating whether to choose CX Ray or Sprint?
2 cross lacing seems to be the norm is that correct?

2nd set:
rider weight: 86kg
Light Bicycle WR35 oder WR45
Hope Pro 4 or 5 hubs
32h or 28h

Is 32h overkill on a carbon rim?
Is 3 cross the norm for 32h?

Thanks

Hi, do you get any readings from your powermeter if it is not installed on your bike?
I just got a used powermeter, it connects to my wahoo, but it just reads zeros. Shouldn't at least cadence sensor provide a value when I spin it in my hands? (measuring range starts at 20 but I spin it faster) I dont want to install it and then uninstall it, its still convered by warranty.

Hi, I want to build a budget wheelset for my beater bike. I have am looking at these ryde zac 2000 rims are these alright for my purpose?
I weight 196lbs 88kg, is it fine to go 32 front and rear or should I go for 36 spokes?
