You are hereClose up Bikes (MTB) / Spoke tension
By davis_jnr - Posted on 15 September 2010
Found this today, how the hell would you re-tension the wheel?
This is commonly know as 'snowflake lacing'... pretty, huh?
Most wheel builders are slightly odd. Once you start twisting spokes into pretty patterns you need to be 1 part genius 3 parts insane just to work out correct spoke lengths...
thats fkn nuts... surely that can't be strong? any engineering development on those or is that just for shits and giggles?
