there are just very few circumstances in which plain gauge is a good idea.
Just for future reference, what are they?
Scilly.Suffolk-
for future reference, what are they?
- You're already using the cheapest possible hubs and rims, and your budget still won't stretch to butted spokes
- You're already using the highest possible spoke count, but you're such a lard-arse (or hauling so much freight) that you're having trouble getting enough axial stiffness into the wheel.
- You want to maximise aerodynamic drag :)

As plain gauge spokes go, they are very good, there are just very few circumstances in which plain gauge is a good idea.
