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.

Was it the lack of lateral stiffness, or excessive vertical compliance that led to this disaster?

Ouch.

It looks like the linguini spokes are bit overdone.
