I posted this pic/question over in the Cruiser Bikes in my thread (Speedway2).
I was wondering why the spokes are lined up on one side instead of cris-crossed (like my front wheel). The bike's a 2spd with coaster brake and the spokes are lined up on the same side as the drive (chain). The tire is 4" wide.

I'm guessing its to manage the torque of accelerating and braking?
