Post by: oldschoolace on November 30, 2013, 12:46 PM
Anyone ever seen these and do we thing a whole wheel could be laced with a similar principle?  ???

 :LolLolLolLol:

Its an interesting concept though....id like to see if it would work out :)

I love the way it says on the packet "got a broken spoke? Try our emergency spoke and you will be home in no time" lol.  If I had a broken spoke I would probably still ride it for another few months  ;D

...a whole wheel laced with that would probably make it entirely "emergency".. ;D
