Considering as cheap replacement rear wheel for the pub/'gravel'/Licht Panzer bike.

Is that spoke pattern asking for trouble?!

Cheers!

If you have to ask....
Depends on what coming back from the pub entails!

If you put a bend in the rim, you can't really straighten them well unless you're lucky.

Not recommended for knocking around on.

These wheels get put in the scrap faster than those with an even spoke pattern.

Also bear in mind cheap wheels have cheap spokes, which tend to get brittle and snap after a year or two if they are used hard.
