This is a concept bike that I'm trying out. 650c wheels and disc brakes on a fixed gear drive. Designed more for slow speed manuverability and safety than full speed road handling.

650c 16 spoke wheels

This is an experiment. 16 spokes on a 32 hole hub/rim. The spokes were going to be configured in a paired configuration, but after some discussions with one of the most notorious wheelbuilders in the country, the dicision was made not to. Gravy said that without a special drilling on both the rim and hub the rim would snake. Not good. A skip spoke pattern, he assured me, would stay true. I may still be too heavy for the wheels, but at least the wheel can make it onto the bike.

As any wheelbuilder knows, the goal of a cross spoke pattern is to have the spkes at maximum tangency to the hub flanges. This reduces the wind up the wheel suffers under the induced torque from driving and braking. For most hubs and rims, a 4 cross pattern is the closest to this limit that can be acheived. Sizing the spokes for 32 4-cross is the same as 16 2-cross, so that gives an idea how the wheel will come together. I will be using butted 2mm spokes and the new DT hex nipples to handle the increased tension in the system.
