Spoke Patterns
From WikiPedalia
Spoked wheels may be laced in several different patterns. Most wheels use the semi-tangent pattern, less common is "direct" or "radial" spoking. Some rear wheels are laced "half radial".
There are also "novelty" or fad lacing patterns, including the "crow's foot" and "snowflake" designs. These patterns are eye-catching, but have no practical advantage.
Spoke patterns are discussed at some length in my wheelbuilding article.
