• What's the general consensus on using bladed spokes with box section, low spoke-count rims? I know the aero benefits will be nil but I can get the bladed spokes for much, much cheaper than straight gauge.

    Basically I'm worried they'll look shit and can't find any photos of this particular combo to help make up my own mind (although this fact may answer my question..).

  • I built some wheels with CX-Rays and Mavic Open Pro rims on high flange track hubs. They looked most peachy.

  • I had Open Pro CD/CX-Ray/Goldtec Track about a decade ago, they did look nice but I don't think the CX-rays had anything to do with it, since it is essentially impossible to tell by looking whether wheels have CX-rays or just plain gauge spokes once they're moving.
