Not great

Could be decent but won’t let you do 2x on 28 or 32 hole wheels

Great but could be greater

I love this app and have had and used it for years. I would personally like to see some of the unusual things I’ve done before 2x drive side radial non on rear rim brake Mtb, snowflake, and suggested spoke tensions and a spoke length calculator

Won’t let me do 36 hole 2x

Seems good although it won’t let me set the settings I need for a rohloff, it’s a 36 hole and rohloff say it must be 2x but the app won’t allow to see this configuration
