Would like to see a couple of photos of some 28 hole wheels, built 2x front and rear.
Let's see 'em....

I'm curious how your rear RR1.1 single eyelet rim is doing. How many miles are on it, and how much do you weigh?frdfandc said:Heres mine - on the bike.

That is a really nice picture of the wheel. I think silver White Industries hubs are one of the nicest looking hubs.Mike T. said:I know you didn't ask for it but here's an x1 with heads in.
Thanks but that bleepin' pic looks nothing like the one I uploaded. Well, ok it's the same wheel but my background cloth was jet black not a pretty blue as in this pic. And the spokes were all nice & sharp. These are surrounded by a load of noise. This has been happening on a few forums recently and I need to know why. I'll e-mail consumer review to try to find out why.valleycyclist said:That is a really nice picture of the wheel.
That's just what the builder - Zen Cyclery - chose. Maybe they have a reason.Any reasons to choose 1x heads in vs a standard 1x alternating heads in/out?
I would imagine any issues, good or bad, are so small as to be immaterial - not that anyone or any thing could measure a difference anyway.My guess is a tad lateral stiffness increase since twice as many spokes have a wider bracing angle. I wonder how the spokes handle the extra force of the spoke overlap so close to the elbow in the long run. I'm assuming it is minimal and has no effect on long-term reliability.
Well isn't that strange. I'm viewing it with a Firefox browser and the back cloth is a nice royal blue where in the pics in my pic folders it's jet black. Plus there's a ton of fuzz on the spokes in this RBR pic. Lemme load IE and see if that makes a difference.valleycyclist said:The background looks clean on my computer as well as
my phone. Perhaps your browser settings need to be adjusted.
Ahh-haaaa! I loaded Explorer and my pic looks JUST as it looks in my picture folders.Mike T. said:Well isn't that strange.

Bingo. I fixed it. I went to the Help at Firefox and typed in something like "uploaded picture color changing" and read the comments. One dude suggested typing "about:config" in the address line and changing "gfx color management mode" to zero. Mine was "2". I did this, reloaded FF and my pic now looks fine. Thanks Valley for tipping me off that the problem was probably at my end. :thumbsup:Mike T. said:Ahh-haaaa! I loaded Explorer and my pic looks JUST as it looks in my picture folders.![]()
