What disadvantage of j-bend spokes?

•

edscoble in reply to @deleted

Because the spokes have to bend making it weaker than a straight pull?

J bend spokes are popular because it’s just easier to drill a hole on a hubs than make one dedicate to straight pull as well as availability and spokes pattern.

I agree you notion, but I stand with saying j bends are better / an advantage as for the reasons mentions, I want to be able to grab spokes easily even if they are not the same spec etc.

100% go hope, got 3 pairs in the household and wouldn’t buy much else!
