The only 24 spoke wheel I see is on the Carrera which is a totally different type of wheel build. When the 920 begins running
those rims...
Yes your right about what they post about their touring tandems. But look at their road tandems which often if not always takes more abuse than a touring single. And the Al frames. All I'm trying to say is maybe the 28* will be okay on the 920. It might not be the devil some are making it out to be. If it is the devil I get a new wheel. Not a big deal.
