Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - What is the name of this lacing

so there's a picture i found..

And I think that the lacing done on the front wheel is pretty rad. It doesn't look like it's a special rim, just looks like a deep v?
Maybe i'm stupid, I didn't really know how to search for this as I don't know the name of this kind of lacing..
thanks for the help

:cry:

maybe you should share the picture with us as well.

It's a folding rim for commuting by bus/train. Don't know who makes 'em, though.

sort of paired spoke or and incredibly stupid idea. If you want paired spoke just buy the bontragers.

Paired spokes.

Good lord, I didn't even know such a thing existed.
I'm not only a smart-ass, I'm an uninformed smart-ass to boot!

I was shocked when I saw them too. Link:

Possibly the most epic backfiring of a smartass comment ever. Woah

looks like you fold it by pulling OUT. When riding, the force would push IN.

clearly it is a custom drilling. it says it on the rim too..

There's a wheel skewer to keep tension between the scissors, i.e., 90degrees. Remove skewer to fold (air too I guess).

Can't the tube get pinched at each of those ends that fold? Awesome idea though.

op bike is nice, I am really feeling it.

so to answer the op's question, it's the front from the velocity spartacus wheelset. it is just a deep v rim, but it's specially drilled for that wheelset, you can't just lace up a regular deep v like that. the hub is also specially designed for that lacing pattern, so you can't just lace up a regular hub like that either. very proprietary.

thank you for answering the question!

to someone who said they were feeling it, it's supposedly Keo Curry's newest bike as found on macaframaproductions.com
