Strolling around the bike-stuff websites, I came upon these wheels: http://tinyurl.com/6e5hq The significant feature is that the spokes go from one nipple, through the hub, to a nipple on the other side of the rim. At least, that's what the text says. The pictures aren't saying that. The claim is that it increases stiffness. Now, I have two problems with this design. 1. The spoke starts out bent due to the dishing on either side of the hub. 2. If the spoke really is a single unit from nipple to nipple, doesn't acceleration bend it? It is a kevlar thread, so bending is not a problem. ------------ Alex |

maybe it'll catch on?
or maybe there's no need for it but loaded touring? spokes break. i broke one this morning turning a 40 pound load onto a cambered turn hotdoogging moving my weight up onto the front wheel. I get good at trueing 35 on the road. but if you gander thru colorado cyclists wheel pages: the topo wheels appear logical. or more logical than the campo carboncarbon 21st century bicycle wheels!! if everyone had one what would the price be? |
