I don't understand the front wheel on the red Casati ^5. On a dished rear, it makes sense to have half as many spokes on the non-drive side and the groups of 3 are logical, but on an un-dished front the total tension to each side must balance within each group of 3, so the lone spoke must be at twice the individual tension of the pair? Do they use thinner spokes for the pair to balance the strains? It just seems silly.
