  1. As most people have said 3 cross is going to be the most durable. But there is a correct way to lace a disc wheel. Remember that when braking on a disc hub it changes the spoke tension, and could cause the spokes to hit the disc caliper. Make sure that the outside spoke (outbound) is running forward as you look at the disc side of the wheel and run the inside spoke (inbound) behind. This will prevent the outbound spokes from dropping tension and will also press against the inbound spokes to hold there tension and will reduce wheel flex . Also remember that many hub manufacturers require there hubs to be laced this way

  5. a brake booster will help, also try cutting the corners off the end of the pad this will help them to toe in reducing the noise.
  6. The recommended tension for a wheel can be as low as 80kgf (kilogram force) or as high as 130kgf. It is best to set the tension to the highest weakest link in the system will allow, In most cases this will be the rim, the only way to check this is manufacturers specs. Alot of people will run very high spoke tension on trials wheels as they take so much pounding, that is ok but if you run a plain gauge spoke with no butting the rim will flat spot very easy. This is due to trials rims having no depth. My advice would be to run a good quality spoke (double butted) and keep the tesion high.
