They look cool, but whats the science behind them, can't be weight, those spokes look at least 3 times as thick as 14g, can't be strength, as the loadings on the spoke holes will be much greater.

Can't see why they were invented, unless it was just summat different.

anyone got the knowledge or just fancy making something up!!

They were supposed to be for racing weren't they?

Summit to do with less rotational weight/ more stiffness. 10g's I think from memory?

Came out 95/96?
