your take on whole tie and soldering of spokes
i get so many mixed opinions of this whole thing. a friend of mine who rides really hard has had the same DH wheels forever and he swear that the reason they have lasted so long is because he soldered them. i read in the small white wheelbuilding book that it does nothing. i have never seen legit proof either way. i just want to know if anyone in here has tried it or knows if its a legit way to make stiff and or strong wheels
