im a wheel builder myself... a wheel acts like a large spring. having opposing spoke force from an outboard spoke towards an inboard spoke is very important. twisting spokes reduces the area of flex aloud and strains the wheel. not allowing it to flex like a big spring. that's why things like 3butted spokes are made, more flex, less strain on the wheel. longer lasting wheel that springs back to shape... also muppet??? what in the world kind of saying is that.

probly is strong. just not as strong as it would be if you were to lace it the good old fashion way.. theirs a reason we keep to standard spoke lacing procedures. if they were really that much better then you would see it being a more current process for lacing wheels. it reduces strength to a wheel and add weight due to longer spoke lengths.. im just saying man. i think it looks unique and different. just not stronger then typical lacing process as sorta mentioned
