maybe you should stay in the touring forum? if all you do is regurgitate touring info.
I know why spokes break. It wasn't a question of me seeking knowledge, it was a question for you to validate your argument.
I probably shouldn't even be seeking bikepacking info on BF.
The only confirmation I seek is, Do I go with the allroads, or do I just go ahead and get one of the other 28 spoke wheelsets.
at this point I might just do the allroads to put a stop to the Reguritation of it can't be done.
Do you guys Happy feet /Marcus/mstateglfr want to make a friendly BF wager?
I'll do a 1200 mile loaded ride on the 20/24 spoke allroads. If I break a spoke I'll take a 3 month leave of silence on BF. If I don't break a spoke, then you 3 take a leave of silence from BF. or at least from the gravel section.
We will put our keyboards up for collateral to back our opinions.
