Can someone clarify, are DB or TB spoke stronger than standard 2mm spokes?
I remember (sonic) i think, saying that TB are stiffer, but are they hard wearing?

why TB?
DB is the best option.
not stronger but build a better more resilient wheel."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

the weakest point is the elbow.
the butting moved the flex to an area that can manage it without failure."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

A TB spoke is basically a DB spoke with a thicker section towards the elbow. As the nipple threads are rolled on, the elow end can be made thicker if the narrower threaded end can pass through.0

Paul re read that!
dont you mean hub end?
and are on about straight pull spokes?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
