Someone on the list wrote something like, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like one hub is drilled 32, the other 36. Kind of screws up the interchangability concept, no?" about Cinelli bivalent hubs.

I don't understand how the number of spokes would have any effect on whether a wheel with a bivalent hub could be used on the front or the back of the bike. Am I missing something here?

I thought the interchangability of the bivalent system had to do with the hubs and not the spoke count?
