'I disagree with what you say but i defend your right to say it'......Voltaire...ergo i hear what you say and disagree with you.....spoke cards spoil the clean looks of a bike and that is what makes a fixed bike...the removing of all [ALL]...superfluous bits and pieces....and if that includes gears and a rear brake it definitely includes spoke cards......but in our 'democracy'...you are entitled to use them on your bike.....each to their own...even if it is wrong and looks very wrong!....In Soviet times when one was called a 'bureaucrat'....it meant you were one step from the gulags [nasty prison camps in Siberia].....so the equivalent phrase would be today in this context....'fakenger'!!
BTW...how are the wheels?....I should taken the extra £10...stop you wasting money on spoke cards!!
