Pro-Lite spoke braces
Just purchased a pair of Pro-Lite Bracciano wheels. They have spoke braces on the rear wheel on the non-drive side only. Should they not be on the drive side as well ? Apparently you can get them from Hotlines for free but don't want to look foolish asking if they are only suppose to be on the non-drive side.

Looks like the old (and largely discredited) practice of soldering crossing spokes together. I wouldn't worry about it.- - - - - - - - - -

I asked for a set of them (they're free) and they turned up pretty sharpish. I have the original wheels which don't have them. I don't think I could fit them without releasing the spoke tensions and then re-truing the wheel, sounds a lot of hassle.http://www.strathspey.co.uk - Quality Binoculars at a Sensible Price.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not going to worry about it. Saw a you tube video of them being fitted and I thought how can they do that with the spokes under tension.0

Not sure they have any benefit, but if they do, then the NDS is where they should be, to compensate for a lower tension.
Tying and soldering was a practice used for wheels that had to take big loads/stresses... debatable whether they do add stiffness or not... they don't harm, that's for sureleft the forum March 20230 -
