what, why are you asking about spoke? Are you going to build the wheel yourself?

3 inches? That's like 76mm deep.

Zipp 808's are that deep, but I highly doubt you want to pay for those... And they don't come in yellow...

just get cheap rims and construct the deep fairings from coroplast, like some polo players and their disc wheels

Anyone have B43s? I wonder if they'd be a comfortable ride compared to smaller depth rims.

Pretty good for noobs.

I was so tempted to do the "Let me google that for you", but I felt the need to be nice. ... Wait. Nah. Here you go.
