| A SUPERLACE™ is a custom solution for the
recurring problem of loosening and breaking spokes. The solution
can be modified depending upon the type of application, size of
bike/engine, and your skill level and needs. The process involves
analyzing and reconfiguring your OEM rim, spokes, nipples and hub.
We essentially blueprint your wheel with optimal selected components
and lace patterns transforming it into a rugged wheel that works
as good as it looks and looks as good as it works.
After studying the problem of broken spokes, Woody discovered that
it would be possible to strengthen the structure of the wheel by
altering the lace pattern so that each spoke was routed as closely
as possible to a 90 degree angle between the hub and rim. This allows
the most direct transfer of energy through the spoke to the hub
and rim. Since this method requires drilling the rim holes to point
in a new direction, Woody decided to add to the strength factor
by drilling and countersinking the rim to allow for oversized spokes
and nipples. Called SUPERSIZING, this process spreads the workload
over a larger surface area under the nipple. The net result is the
ability to torque the spokes tighter than possible with OEM spokes
and nipples making a stronger, more durable wheel.
Combine the oversize spokes and nipples with the re-angled lace
pattern, and we have a wheel that is guaranteed for
a full year against spoke breakage or loosening.
