I guess if you were really worried about them moving you could solder them together like they used to do. |
strength issues
strength aren't any that i've ever had, and i've ridden this setup (fHub = LX, rhub = paul word, both on rhynolites) for quite awhile, in a few different places. My biggest eff-up was using spline-drive nips and not buying/stealing/etc. the spline drive nip-wrench from the last shop i worked at:

Duh. No one said there are any benefits other than aesthetics to the exotic pattern. It still stands that a high spoke count and spokes that are normal to the hub center will be the strongest. Low spoke counts will be slightly lighter, and aero-spokes will give a slight aerodynamic advantage. But then again, most of us are in this forum, at least partly, for aesthetic reasons. I guess I failed at nice. |
just had these built at yellow jersey in madison wisconsin, a wonderful christmas present to myself.

This is me assuming though. So i'm probably wrong. Everything about his bike makes me feel good. |
Thick thin contrasts are so sweet.

I think the gold Deep-V wheels might actually be more inflammatory |
What do you think of ProMax hubs? I'm thinking of building myself a nice set with some black spokes and black Deep Vs

http://velospace.org/files/cannontrack.jpg The one I posted previous has an Benotto fork. :o |
those cannondales are just so unbelievably hot. i cannot wait until one appears in my size.
and, to stay on topic, I would totally build a pair of 3 leading 3 trailing wheels for it. |
where's the picture of turd with her pink velocities?
