Lacing 24" 32 or 36 hole Rim to 48 hole Hub

Does anyone have some clear pics or any other help for lacing a 32 0r 36
hole 24" rim to a 48 hole Hub?

I was thinking about doing the same thing and I found a picture of a 48
hub to a 32 hole rim by skiping every third hole between the first spoke
cross and it looked good and used spokes all the same length but I was
unable to find it again. I have decided to get Qa-ax 48 hole trials rim
instead so I think I won't be doing this.

Where are you buying your Qu-Ax rim?

Right now you can get them from unicycle.com UK but I think I have
talked John Drumand into to ordering some and keep them in stock at udc
US. I think they would sell to people wanting to convert Torker 20" uni
into trials unis, and since they have Qu-ax they should have spare
parts.

I found this

But with shipping is quite expensive.

I did a 48-spoke QU-AX / Halo Contra 24" wheel. It seems sturdy but a
bit heavy, although I don't have numbers to back that up. If you do
this, use 14/15 spokes to help keep the weight down. The rim has double
eyelets. This should be a great wheel for downhills with lots of drops,
but probably a little heavy for straight natural trials and 50-50 mixes
of slopes.

Do you have any other pics? A closeup of the hub? Are all the spokes the
same length?
I've never built a wheel before but i wanna give it the ole college try.
(wait I didn't go to college)

Since the hub and rim are both 48-hole, the spokes are all the same
length.

A 48-spoke wheel isn't necessarily the best configuration to start out
with because there isn't as much room to work between spokes and there
is a lot more manipulation to true the wheel.

However, my first wheel was a 48 spoke, so go for it!

I don't have any close-up pics at this time.
