Does anyone know how stiff carbon spokes are?
Considering LB’s new carbon spokes on a new build. Saves ~90g, would look pretty cool, but wouldn’t do it if they’ll be a harsh ride.

I've only ridden carbon spokes on Lightweights and they are amazing. So stiff and light but as they are in tension, not harsh.
Aero is for losers.

The Lightweight design is very different from round spokes laced into conventional hubs, and apparently not bad for aeros as v-shaped rims go
