after many miles of faithfull service this wheel was put out to pasture
This blog is about good design the wheel shown is a dishless wheel that I built and put 20000 on. The wheel was loaded with about 160 pounds it uses an alivio hub DT 14 gauge spokes and an araya VP 20 rim. The cassette was sanded down to 29mm this allowed 8 cogs with 9 cog spacing and a 135mm rear spacing. There were no broken spokes nor any rim cracks throughout the life of this wheel. There were however 3 bent solid axles more about how to solve this problem later. I built a new wheel with DT alpine III spokes a deore spline brake hub and a weinmann 519 rim and am testing it now.
