Hi all,
We all know that 60 spoke wheels are stronger and stiffer and safer and more
desireable. But. Does any one have any real data - hard evidence - about the
likelihood of 48 spoke wheels failing catastrophically (ie, life threatningly)
under normal spirited road driving conditions? I mean, not driving sideways
into curbs, or really gigantic potholes, but ocasionally sliding
enthusiatically around corners.

I ask, because I have a set of 48 spoke wheels, and a limited budget.

Thanks for any opinions,
Don
