    Well, it looks like the first thing you'd have to do would be to
    locate some 38 hole rims.

    Those are SCARCE.

    I'd go with the artsy 3-leading, 3-trailing, of course with one instance
    of 4-trailing on each side.

    It is imperative that that be 4 /trailing/, or else you wheel will warp,
    your tires go flat, and your belly button fall off.

    PS - be sure to lubricate the spokes with freshly churned buffalo
    butterfat chilled to precisely 2 degrees C. To keep it from warming
    before the wheel is finished, it is best to perform the wheel building
    in a walk-in refrigerator.

    Hope that helps,

    Mark J.

    to a common 37H rim.

    Didn't one of the better-selling Mavic front wheels come with 19
    spokes? Just use one of those inexpensive and commonly available
    replacement rims and skip every second hole in the hub.

    but 19 is a prime number...

    A Mavic factory wheel is a prime product. Just ask any salesperson at
    your local cycling boutique.

    but with a total of 19 spokes, that an un-equal number on each side.
    spokes need to be 1:1 [or maybe 2:1 if dished]. i know of no wire
    spoked wheels deviating from this ratio, not even mavic.

    I'm telling you, Mavic's goes to eleven. Or in this case, nineteen.

    That's what makes it unique, patented, laterally stiff yet vertically
    compliant, unprecedentedly aerodynamic, vibration-damping, powerfully
    erotic, and all the other wonderful things we have come to expect from
    that company in recent years. How would the spokes be able to operate
    in both tension and compression if there were some tiresomely mundane
    _even_ number of them?

    I think it's the same force that pops up the next Kleenex, but you
    might want to write Fermilab.

    It depends on whether his typo meant '36' or '48'
