But people that don't believe in spoke elbow seating can shout just as loud as anyone else. Too bad for people looking for good advice that doesn't break the bank.
You guys can't even figure out how to use QUOTES on a forum, but you're the best source of technical advice on wheelbuilding and repair?
What does spoke head seating actually do? And what exactly is the specific mechanism with it that prevents spokes from breaking?
