One of the group riders with one of these types of hubs a couple weeks ago ended a ride with one of his flat spokes just hanging out from the non business side of the rear hub.
I took a close look at it. The spoke wasn't broken, just slipped out. The wheel was less than one year old.

Seems like a ridiculously & dangerously bad design that relies on clamping the spokes in place. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
