It is what it is....if you feel the need to argue the point about Comp vs Tens, AGAIN and how a spoke can't be in compression, after the article clearly hints at the semantics behind it...you just don't get it. Your examples, like other have stated, are worthless in the context of the 'discussion'.

Apologies for derailing the thread, I should have known better...

Phil Wood Hubs rock...no question there!
