Well, you gotta go through a couple of throw aways before you find the
idea that you really want to keep? Maybe? -

You beat me to it. I saw these wheels on Cycling News and wondered
"How do people think these things up?" Even if I spent all day week
after week trying to come up with the wackiest wheel idea possible, I
could not dream up such things. It must be a skill to be that
imaginative. -

Dear Peter,
Actually, it's just a return to classic wheelbuilding at its finest!
The first tensioned wheels by Starley used the vee-spoke looped
through an eyelet on the rim:http://www.arielcycles.me.uk/history/images/starley03-3.jpg
Spokes that unscrew like pool cues were a clever way to allow
replacing broken spokes on cross-7 high-wheelers:http://i3.tinypic.com/5ymzs40.jpg
With that many spokes, putting pairs of spoke-holes next to each other
on the hub xx xx xx xx was another trick to allow 7x lacing
without one spoke covering the head of another spoke--not a problem
with the modern low spoke-count wheel from Crank Brothers.Cheers,
Carl Fogel

Well, I wish the rims were more conventional - I'm a sucker for a
beautiful blue! -

Well, I'm not sure that axiom is necessarily reasonable or right. Had it
been in place at Apple, they would never have entered the portable music
player market, or the music-over-the-internet market.As for Crank Brothers, they're most famous for their pedals. Those
pedals, if I remember correctly, were about their third product line,
after their multi-tools and their speed lever (maybe their pump was
third).That said, this design looks weird. But it's a clever way to make a
really good tubeless rim. And it can be trued with a conventional spoke
wrench!--

Well, you gotta go through a couple of throw aways before you find the
idea that you really want to keep? Maybe?They already did that with pedal design..got a good one now..why they
want to make such a silly idea, that does nothing new but emphasizes
'unique to this wheel' parts, is silly...but their $. -

to see. They want to buy something unique so *they* will be unique.
I'd being willing to cut CB some slack on these as long as they are as
durable as a conventional wheel at a similar weight that would cost
half as much... many manufacturers don't meet that "requirement". -

be more expensive. PLUS in 2-3 years, they will have moved onto
something else with no spokes/barrells/rims as replacements...I guess
manufacturers have to try to be onnovative in this pretty flat market
but I just don't see why CB can't just stick to pedals. They do that
well.
