• for future reference, what are they?

    1. You're already using the cheapest possible hubs and rims, and your budget still won't stretch to butted spokes
    2. You're already using the highest possible spoke count, but you're such a lard-arse (or hauling so much freight) that you're having trouble getting enough axial stiffness into the wheel.
    3. You want to maximise aerodynamic drag :)

  • Bike polo?

    Yes, I'm guessing that could cause the kind of exceptional axial loads which might warrant plain gauge spokes. Probably tricycles and jump bikes too, if they are heavily loaded.
