Let's see everyone's twisted (or wrapped) spokes!

digitalkreation · Oct 7, 2013

Of all the topics I've seen posted, I haven't seen this one yet. Back in the day, I had a bike (not worth mentioning) and I had the spokes wrapped (or twisted, whatever your preference in calling the technique) and I absolutely loved the look. I'll be getting another wheelset done soon with my next build. But I'm curious to see who's got this look going on out there, and on which bikes.. Let the fun begin!

Do you mean snowflake lacing?

digitalkreation · Oct 7, 2013

Yeah, that's another term I've seen used..

Here's one of mine:

Do a Google search on the site for 'Snowflake' and you'll get a few threads on this, including one great thread which shows you how to build them.

Heres mine, and unusually both wheels are Snowflaked, as to strength and ridgidity i have encountered no problems so far

I too had "snowflaked wheels" bitd, I never had any issues with them, always thought they looked "kewl"

Here's a more recent set of snowflaked wheels...

My green machine from 1993 proper wannabe budget tricked out, snowflaked on the front only.
