Going from the Sahara to Antarctica with a mix of spokes

So, hypothetically, I have a trip that starts from the Sahara to Antarctica. It'll be about a week
in each place, and I have a wheel that's built with titanium spokes on the drive side of my wheel,
and SS spokes on the non-drive-side. Will the temperature difference cause it to go out-of-dish?

OKay, I'll ask what most of my old teachers would ask: "So what do YOU think would happen?"

Since you asked about two different metals you must obviously have some idea what would happen.

Do you know what a bi-metal spring is ... like in your car thermostat, or your home thermostat? Same
thing, assuming that the expansion and contraction properties of the two metals are dissimilar which
they most likely are.

A more interesting question might be, what would happen if you rode this bi polar bike normally?
Trued the wheel cold, then went on a death ride for a couple of hours. Or how about, what happens
when you leave the bike in the sun, and it's only shining on the drivers side half of the spokes.

Anyways, when you finally go on this trip I would suggest using spokes that are all of one metal.

C.Q.C.

Dear Phil,

Hypothetically, are you using camel or penguin oil on the spoke nipples?

More seriously, mechanical thermostats use a bi-metallic strip, two different kinds of thin metal
strips joined together. The different expansion rates of the two joined strips of metals cause the
whole strip to curve in the direction of the slower-expanding metal.

Hypothetically again, how much out-of-dish are you worried about? One camel whisker or a full
penguin flipper?

What did that wheel ever do to you? I hope you are eaten by Bantus.
