You won't have to have a free wheel tool with you and it will out last standard spokes! ron.

That is just Gosh Dang Brilliant (seriously)!!!!
Where have you been hiding dude? You have been holding back on us with only 29 posts since August!
What are you using for stays on the tire fenders? I love the idea because I can finally get the length I really want on the front end with this method!
I am a wee bit shy I spos but every one is so nice here, ha ha I love this place! But yea I had an old cruiser I made look like a moon walker with "white wall" fenders tha went just short of the ground! Not good to go up curbs, eeeK! For stays you can zip-tye the bead of to your frame and rack. I posted some pics of what I did with stainles wire so zip-tye don't eat through my paint. They make silent, strong and good fenders and it is fun to do with that tire a beer bottle gashed open and you spent good money on, ron.
