Snowflake wheel

your stars do not hide the fact you called dale an idiot.

Well they agree with each other, so would be a weird statement.

add a 2-3mm for a single twist, the one above it double twisted, so 5mm ish

add 2 mm in spoke length, no more than three mm! Unlike suggested by some i***t, never guess the spokes length!

Other than that, it was an insightful post Zitraux :)

I get the impression that, asthetics aside, the twisting is a poor way of getting the tied and soldered effect. Poor because it adds steep bends to the spokes unlike tying and soldering.

Although I remember reading a Sheldon Brown piece discounting the stiffening effect of tying and soldering.
