you can see on the right one how much the spokes are bowwed, they havent been "bedded in" to the hubs. the spokes have tension now but after about 10 minutes riding them theyll have loosened and are vulnurable to bending. its fine if you sell to someone who will tighten the spokes alot during the breaking in process, but if its some kid who doesnt know... its better to just pre set them like how the g sport article says
They are both 4 cross laced in this photo, that is why... they were ridden a few month prior to this photo no losening...
The rear is now 3 cross the front is still 4 cross
