I love crazy twisted spoke patterns.
A lot of people hate them.

A friend of mine who is a good wheelbuilder did a set of these for S&G's, he said it took him like 10 hours to do the set. This is a guy who can whip up a front wheel in 30-40 min.
I never did ask him, but how the heck do you calculate spoke lengths for that shizz?

I've seen a Chub laced up like that in town as well.

His name is Josh. He's not a messenger, unless he had a career change over night. Awesome dude.
