I.... see spokes. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 10:10
You have to wonder what was the point. It's not like the world is running low on spokes or anything. -- nm - Loyola Sep 14, 09:51 5
- When they break, it sucks. If it is a simpler design less prone to breaking then it's a good thing. -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 09:53 4
  - however, you are using much more material to make a more rigid rim -- nm - zork Sep 14, 09:57 1
    - also, even a slight bend in the rim will seriously degrade performance if it still works at all. -- nm - zork Sep 14, 10:07
  - I've never had one break *shrugs* -- nm - Loyola Sep 14, 09:54 1
    - I've only had it happen once but it basically rendered the tire usless -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 09:56
