My new death wheel :)

Is that 48 spoke? Looks like it could be more.

I count 48.
Thanks, I needed a quick distraction from homework and was hoping I'd
find something else to do on this forum! 😄

Perdy cool. Now take it to a skate shop and get grip tape on the
plates. It makes it WAY easier to stay on.

Yes, they normally cross over three other spokes, there are however
many different ways of lacing spokes, this is called straight laced
ususally, or zero cross. It's lighter but weaker, which is why lower
cross numbers are used on roads bikes and higher cross numbers on
trials and mountain machines. Has anyone ever made a 112 (?) spoke
lowrider BC wheel?

Weaker only in drive (or brake) direction, but a BC wheel is not
stressed like that. And laterally, it's potentially even a little bit
stronger than a cross-pattern. So, good thinking of loosejello!
