Description
Broken spokes and hub flanges be gone! COLE's clever new Dynamic Spoke Alignment system allows spokes to be pulled in any direction, and the unique straight-pull design greatly reduces the chances of hub or spoke failures often seen in traditional j-bend wheels. By spreading the load to a larger area of the hub flange they can also increase wheel tension. Pretty rad! Get the full run down in this interview with COLE's founder, Jack Lin.
