32 spoke 2x or 3x
Any advise in the difference between lacing a 32 spoke wheel in 3x vs 2x other than looks?

3X spreads the load wider and will build a more durable wheel.

32-spoke wheels were the mainstay in professional road racing from the 1970s or earlier until perhaps the mid-1990s, and lingered on at Paris-Roubaix until around ten years ago. I doubt 1% of them were two-cross.

Cool, sounds like 3x is the way to go! Thanks!

Is this a mountain bike wheel?

If these hubs have been laced previously, following the previous lacing pattern is a good idea. You can determine the previous pattern from the impressions in the flanges made by the tensioned spokes. 3x will be more tangential than 2x.
FYI - I once laced a rear wheel 3x DS and 2x NDS and I don't think I'll do that again - not worth the effort. 3x DS and radial NDS - that I might try - once - but only on a new hub.
