1 cross does a lot compared to radial, for wheels that bear torsional loads (rear wheels, front disc brake wheels). With 16 spokes, 1 cross produces the same 45 degree spoke angle as 2 cross with 32 spokes; and with 12 spokes, 1 cross proces the same 60 degree spoke angle as 2 cross with 24 spokes.
