Yes, black would be nicer. Either way, I'll stick with metal. . Last edited by cadence90; 07-28-2018 at 03:40 PM. |

Radial is the simplest case. Do not see this proposal working for tragential cross patterns.

I think the little knots at the hub look very cool. Handmade and very craft. Nice to see something new!

Yes, but think of how much weight they saved by using a bunch of little strips instead of one long ring - that would have been at least half a gram heavier...

If yer lookin' to lose weight on the bike, these'll likely sure do it well,,,,,,, when, in addition to less rotational weight, all yer front teeth get knocked out.
Just sayin'. Mike in AR

Macrame makes a comeback on bicycle wheels! Wooden rims would make a complete 60's/70's look

My understanding of your diagrams was that you were trying to adapt some sort of circular anchor to a standard drilled flange, with the spokes going through the spoke hole and looping through the adaptor. Radial looks fine. Don’t know what happens when one starts rotating spokes off at differing angles. Are the poly spokes okay with kinking at the spoke hole and not having a straight load path to the anchor? I do not know, but seems like it could be an issue. Also seems like one would have to implement an anchor on each side of a flange to implement inboard and outboard spokes for a cross pattern. Appears to me that the small individual anchors are the easiest and most versatile way to adapt these spokes to a standard hub and allow a variety of spoke patterns. Most like a normal spoke implementation. I also wonder what various hub manufacturers might feel about using these spokes on a hub designed for standard steel spokes? Even with the small individual anchors, the stresses on the flange would appear to be somewhat different than those imposed by standard spokes. Again, perhaps I have misunderstood what you were trying to convey. |

Are they going to get really dirty?

The single ring of fabric @ the hub shell is a really great idea for a cleaner look.
I was also wondering about cleanliness. Should these spokes/laces be Scotchguarded for easy cleaning? So interesting. |

Ultra high molecular weight polyurethane fibers are stronger than steel and products made from them, -Dyneema, Spectra, etc- are being used in the manufacturer of other sporting goods and outside equipment so it was inevitable that the bicycle industry would try them. Hopefully Berd and some of the other companies using them for spokes have an adhesive that will maintain the bond between the stainless steel threaded insert and the fibre spoke body under wide temperature ranges and over time. I wonder when we'll see shifter and brake cables made from the same material.

I'd be more concerned with abrasion of the spokes where they contact the edges of the flange, or where the contact each other at the crosses. But maybe the material is abrasion resistant enough for this not be a concern. Quote:
