So I've read in the archives that the Hoshi bladed spokes are no good,
but I just got a wheelset with these spokes (obviously used - came
with the bike). I have a few questions:
1) Were the breakages random or only in the rear wheel? If rear-only,
was it drive side or both?
2) How bad is the failure? When one goes, do the others go too so that
I am stranded on the road?
3) Were the breaks at the Z bend or at the blade ends? If not at the Z
bend, why doesn't anyone else (including DT) make them? Is it (still)
patented or was it just an unreliable design?
Thanks,
Josh
