are their studies on weight factors per spoke as the wheel turns. ?
Guess this is bordering on some kind of physics as related to the wheel.. Some how the weight must be distributed to other spokes as the wheel turns and not just the spoke contacting the ground.? That would be a lot of stress for just one spoke to take. Particularly as you were traveling over rough road.
