  • ^^No spoke bracing angle if you do that. I reckon a crabon fribe blown up Dyad could be done at about 1200g with constant thickness walls, less if you replicated Mavic ISM by varying the lay-up plies, but that would be costly both to develop and to manufacture.

    This seems to be an issue with some fat wheels. On a Graceful fat sheba rim the spoke beds are 25mm apart (or something). If you build these up with a 100mm front hub with disc mount. You get feck all in the way of bracing angle. The new fatbike from On-one has a couple of mm between the beds, and then the spokes are crossed (across the plane of the wheel). This is a much better design. Even with a 170mm rear hub. The bracing angle isnt exactly massive.

    My front wheel is offset, so I' want a fat carbon version of this profile, just change the depth to 45mm, and the width to 80mm....
