Jerry, start out by thinking of this as a 54 hole set-up... I see the design as standard 18 on one side, and 36 (double spooked, 18 + 18) on the drive side. 54 spokes, then, for some reason, take away 12... these being the "skipped" holes on the drive side of the hub. There are several ways I might spoke this. One being using 6 straight-to-the-rim spokes, perhaps with a crows foot pattern to each set of 3? I'll respond again if I think of a pattern that seems really great... As to a good rim for it... perhaps a drill and a 36 hole rim as a start? I know it is not a great answer for a rim, but... good luck! I'm curious to see if that hub ever gets ridden on! (of course you could just lace it 36 and skip the extra 6 hub holes) Thomas Seaman Moscow, Idaho: U.S. of A. (today) http://www.kokoPedli.com
