Here is a photo of a zero dish wheel that I built and put 20000 miles on. https://share.ovi.com/media/currentre...resident.10016 The wheel was loaded with 165 pounds through out the 20000 miles there were no broken spokes on this wheel. It uses 8 cogs with nine cog spacing on a cassette made for 7 cogs. Here is one way to modify a cog to place it 1.78 mm closer to the spokes https://share.ovi.com/media/currentre...resident.10053 the splines have been cut deaper to allow it to fit on the cassette like this https://share.ovi.com/media/currentre...resident.10054 My new wheel uses a shimano spline brake hub this hub moves the bearing out 5 mm on the spline side putting less stress on the axle. https://share.ovi.com/media/currentre...resident.10062 this best shimano hub for clydesdales is the 6 bolt brake hub it moves the bearing out 10 mm placing even less stress on the axle. The new wheel also uses DT alpine spokes https://share.ovi.com/media/currentre...resident.10049 This wheel survived being hit by a truck https://share.ovi.com/media/currentre...resident.10069 there was no detectable deformation of the spokes or the hub I replaced the rim and have put an additional 5000 miles on this wheel.
