It's obvious really, one flange for going straight, one for going left, the last for going right.

Looks like there are 2 different types of spokes too. What would be the point, except for wtf value?

Maybe greater triangulation => more stiffness/strength for same/less weight?

P.S. www.tinyurl.com is great for posting long URLs like the one above - saves people having to
copy and paste extra bits into their address bars...

You'd think that'd be the idea behind it, but it'd be hard to lose the extra weight I think. Setup
would be painful too I reckon.

Thanks man! I've seen those tinyurls for a while but never visited the site. Takes seconds to
changed the long one into a nice short one. I'll definately try and use that from now on. Should've
tried that ages ago!

Agreed, but if tinyurl ever goes bust, all these links will be borken. Not such a big deal for a
one-off, but any links you find in google-groups (or any other forum) will be useless.

What IS with the stupid wrapping on newsgroups anway? How many people still use DOS? Tell me *NIX
news readers can't be slightly altered to deal with more text?

I'm sick of Outlook Express (yeah yeah laugh it up!) wrapping lines in my posts stupidly.
