JonMack Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Nah it was some dude who had just experimented with 3x wheel builds. It was just 3 leading 3 trailing I think but had actual photos rather than illustrations like on most other sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 A friend of mine did this to the front wheel of his bike. It looks deadly, but if a spoke fails it's a royal pain to replace it as there's a load of interlacing at the hub. You may be able to get around some of the interlacing by lacing the middle spoke of the 3 leading spoke to the opposite side of the hub flange to the other two.

I think a disc would also not the wheel at all.But yeah, kinda cool.I'd have radial though on disc-less wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 This is no weaker than standard 3 crosse theoretically, and it holds up pretty well in practise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
