spokes

Personally i don't think it makes much difference!
12 spokes+mipples weights about nothing.

Sure a 48 spoking is "stronger"..

But to tell you the truth, i haven't sen any muni/trial wheels pop
because of a badly built wheel, it has either been the (early2005model)
kh rim sidewall that popped, or in some extrema cases some splined
cranks been bent or snapped.

All unis i have bought have had some really sloppy spoke tension out of
the box.. And that's far more dangerus than having a few spokes more or
not.

I'ld go for 36h because of lower weight, a nicer looking wheel, and a
not as hard wheel to true and tension!
36h on a 387mm rim is still a LOT!

the hub..the frame, the seat, the name.

1. the kh hub is 36 spline(super strong) while the torker is only 8 or
10(still quite strong)

2. the torker frame is quite combersome and made of steel the kh is
very light aluminum

3. the torker seat is a cheap copy of the kh

4. the kh name is best known in the sport...its only natural that his
stuff cost a bit more.

<more>

What is with this fairytale of more splines the more strength?
No splined cranksets will break any splines, it isn't a weak spot as on
a square tapper hub!
It is the cranks strengt in itself that keeps it from bending, not the
splines!

Well, no.
It will be the exact the same amount of tourqe.
It will be devided over a greater surfice though (probably, the fever
splines the bigger and deeper they are), but the hub will still suffer
from the same amount of tourqe.
I hawe never heard of anyone stripping theri splines what so ever, i
cant se why it's that important.
Cranks bends or snaps a hub can be twisted.. but that has to do with
the strength of the axle and not the splines!

i dont think that hub spline really matter i run either of the i think
spokes dont matter either you gota run rims with eyelets for the spokes
with out a dought to stop pullin the nipple through ya rim cause that
really hurts...

LOTS of rims are without eyelets. No danger there..
