Or the British custom of 32 front/40 rear spoking. Was the reason for this simply biasing strength toward the more heavily loaded wheel? I once was told that it enabled the same length spoke to be used with a small flange front and hub gear rear wheels; I never investigated to see if this makes any sense.
