I was surprised to see fat 14 gauge spokes on these Spence Wolf-built wheels. The wheels I have seen built by Spence used 15/16 gauge spokes, front and rear, tied and soldered (even on a 65 cm Cinelli built for a big guy). Great wheels!

Spence-experts on the list - tell us more about the man and his wheel-building philosophy.
