  15. Although this motivation may only last a week or so this arrived just now.
  16. Weaker? back inthe the day when they twisted spokes it apparantly made the wheel stronger. But like you said JB will know the answer.One thing I don know is He will have something to say about the angle the spoke goes into the rim. I thing the Idea behind the twisted spokes were so that they don't move when the wheel flex. . some people tie the spokes together where they cross as well. . . thats what ive seen and heard
