So if you don't value the warranty or your safety, go for it.
Okay, very old thread I'm bumping, but the subject is exactly on target.
So I have a Power Tab G3 hub power meter, and the LBS wheel builder guy apparently didn't read the manual, because he built it with radial spokes on the NDS.
And dumb me, I'm new to this stuff, so I didn't know it's an issue, and put 140 miles on the thing in the week since picking it up configured this way.
According to the manual, I've apparently voided the warranty. I'm going to ask him to thread it right today. But my questions--why is the warranty voided? Have I actually broken the thing? Panicked here... thanks for any thoughts you can share.
