Spot the slight fault with this rim...

Mmmm. It looks like I won't be trying my first wheel build at the weekend...

drill your own spoke holes

Surely it must be stronger than a conventional rim :facepalm:

As Shaun says , at least you can match the holes you make to any hub you want to use

Its part of a new Mag Lev bike hub design, all the rage I'm afraid

I understand it is a solution to cracking around spoke holes...

 

[Old Ned]

OK, I'll put my spoke in now.


Oh, just realised I can't.............. :roll:

That’s the logical conclusion of the reducing the number of spokes as time goes on; 40, 36, 32, 28….soon that’s all you will able to get hold of. Do they do them in 27"?

Brilliant!

I for one would like to see all this laced together with a 27 spoke configuration.

I might buy them and make a very small gaffer tape disc wheel.
