What is superlacing?
I understand that Excel rims are fitted in a superlace pattern.
Is this different from original or does the original also have superlace pattern?
Can the Excel be fitted with more than one pattern?
Please help me understand.

SUPERLACE™ is a custom solution for the recurring problem of loosening and breaking spokes. The solution can be modified depending upon the type of application, size of bike/engine, and your skill level and needs. The process involves analyzing and reconfiguring your OEM rim, spokes, nipples and hub. We essentially blueprint your wheel with optimal selected components and lace patterns transforming it into a rugged wheel that works as good as it looks and looks as good as it works.
After studying the problem of broken spokes, Woody discovered that it would be possible to strengthen the structure of the wheel by altering the lace pattern so that each spoke was routed as closely as possible to a 90 degree angle between the hub and rim. This allows the most direct transfer of energy through the spoke to the hub and rim. Since this method requires drilling the rim holes to point in a new direction
