    Front wheel? I thought all the bikers with a sense of style rode without.

    Save money and weight - no front wheel means no front hub, rim, spokes, nips, tube, tire, etc.

    Work on your wheelies

    AEROSPOKE!

    Are you riding this on the street or track? I've heard low spoke count wheels don't really hold up on the street. I'm no expert tho.

    it depends on where you're gonna be running it.

    32h+ for the street. Unless you live in some magical place where the street is smooth as glass, then you might be able to get away with 16, but definitely not on the streets.

    Oh! I have an idea, three Aerospokes tied together, that's almost 16 spokes.

    But in all honesty, your wheel will fold like a paper crane every time you hit a dog:
