You can easily overcome a "stiff rim" with spokes. You have to add more. It's simple and works great. It's why my builds have been as popular as they are.


caloso - because you can't add any spokes to your current setup - simply change the spokes and lace 2X over over radial. Small changes that will add a lot to the feel of the system.
