[QUOTE="Nik_2213, post: 6021184, member: 252015"] Read the wiki again... It includes tensile strength. What you also have is a measure of 'live load' and 'dead load'. How long and strong can you make tension spokes before they fail under their own 'weight' due centrifugal effects so can carry no rim loads... Why this way around ? Think cart wheel vs bicycle wheel, and how much less structural material the latter needs... [/QUOTE]
