I always thought my rims were 36h but i was counting yesterday becuase it looked like the back rim had more spokes. well my back rim has 40 spokes and my front has 36 spokes. and no i didnt count wrong, i even checked onlin afterward.

is it common for this? because i never heard of it.
is it a good in between of 36 and 48, or is it just a bad design all around?
am i going to be able to find new rims for my hub?

oh and just another question, do any of you know around what year this dyno is?
i know i have it listed as a 94 in my profile but that was just a guess.

Haro is the only company that makes 40h wheels. There's no real strength advantage to them over 36h, and there's not enough of a weight difference between them and 48h to make a difference there, either.
