It sure is interesting, but don't believe most of what you read on

Your light wheels have a narrow flange spacing and a light rim... this
won't be the case with your aero wheels.

Do you have 28 spokes in the front too? If so, you can lace it any way
you want... it will be stiffer than the rear anyway.

That should be ok... but I'm not sure it is ideal. I think Dave said
it well in the post above. If you have a torsionally stiff hub, then
the NDS will be involved in torque transfer if it is cross-laced. This
is good in that it reduces the amount that the DS needs to transfer...
but bad in that the NDS spokes are more likely to go slack from
combined torque, radial, and lateral loads. The trick is figuring out
if NDS spokes going slack is more likely to be an issue than DS spokes
getting overloaded by torque. Unless you are sprinting up steep hills
*in a low gear* the torque isn't going to be a problem with only half
the spokes crossed. So... I still think radial on the NDS would be my
choice.
