Are YOUR spokes helping you?

[Sasquatch]

Or are they working against you?????

Are you still riding old-fashioned "half'n'half" wheels? If you are, only half of your spokes are helping to pull your bike forward--while the other half are actually sabotaging your effort by pulling BACKWARDS!!!

Sorry dude, I didnt really take that post seriously - was just a bit of light entertainment - a joke one might say.

Next time I'll go over everything I write with a fine tooth comb so as not to disgruntle industry vets like yourself.

the above mentioned website is a Joke Site ... the guy is making a joke .. these wheels are not for sale .. and the site which may have once been a scam site .. is just for fun.

Read into it a little more ... look at the guys face for crying out loud hahah 3k for a wheel set ?? 100's of pro's have been testing ?? didnt any of these things trigger something ??

haha I think the page is a classic .. but please people dont ask how it works or whether he is really selling.

Don't forget to check out the "REAL MAN SADDLE" while your there. Made from a slab of good old Canadian granite. Weighing in at a feathery 2365g.

He's got some real cool stuff.

Honestly though, if you want to know just about anything about wacky bikes, single speed, fixed wheel etc. that is the page for you. He's also a realy good wheel builder and offers some realy good tutorials.

Dude try Sapim spokes from Belgium they are even better than DT (which are good I might add) I have been building wheels for 10+ years with these (B.shop guy) and I have found them to have less failures than DT. Heaps of the top road wheels from aftermarket manufacturers use these preferentially. Particularly all aero race wheels that run few spokes and evil spoke tension. Shimano's primo Dura Ace 10spd race wheels (Road) use these by choice plus heaps of others .... Miguel Indurain wouldn't use anything else either during his Career...

They are the Bomb!!
I used sapim Lazer spokes in my Hugi 240/x317 race wheels for years and I weigh 75kgs and am fairly aggressive on the bike ... never even had to touch em ...

You'll have no problems at all. The dude building them up should be more of your concern...
