Thanks
Is that wheel suited for disc?
That was the idea :)
Actually my guesstimate calculations show that a 20 spoke wheel should be optimal. If the wheel is built so the hub/flanges/spoke pattern transfers 50% of the braking torque to the non-disc side spokes, there should be less stress on each spoke compared to a more normal 24 spoke wheel.
16 spokes is probably pushing it a little...
