This seems like a good time to reiterate…


…that we almost exclusively sell hand-built wheels with 32 spokes that cross each other and don’t leave you with that “let-down” feeling if a spoke breaks. Sorry to pick on Mavic – and we love their Open Pro rims – but it may be time for common sense to come back to the realm of wheel design.

    It looks like the linguini spokes are bit overdone.
