good call-up on this thread to post newfound old info

The owner still hasn't got round to cleaning this wheel yet!

Very interesting hub. I suppose it was designed to address the shortcomings of spokes pulling out of the small spoke holes in the flange, and certainly provided for a stronger wheel build with tall/wide spacing. Seems the design would also allow for more "give" (less "break") via the double-length/wrapped spoke design when stressed hard.

some very flashy hubs I would hate to have to replace a spoke on those.

So lovely. The two spokes out of one wire remind me of the Z spoke where an inner spoke bends its way through the hole in the flange and continues out to the rim as an outer spoke. I saw it on a Hi-Wheel some years ago.

Thanks @juvela, that date puts into possible useage on some very nice lightweight frames the owners have.
