I will need to confirm, are there several brands doing carbon spokes with Ti inserts? one wheel is from Brisk, not sure about the other.

Do you mean brands using them? Loads. Or do you mean more than one factory making them? I think there are several doing it, from what I've been told, though who they are and who they supply I don't know. Maybe @StiffWeenies knows?
Thanks a lot. Yes, quite true. I looked back their blog carefully, and appreciate the very informative work.C36 wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 10:06 amThe carbon spokes expected to be used with carbon Ti hubs are different from the ones used in the video you linked.Jasonlelam wrote:
I went for Light Bicycle AR465 + carbon ti + Carbon spoke last week. LB was quite helpful to answer my questions. There have both downside and upside for conventional hole-rim and no-hole-rim. (need or not need tape, harder or easier for spoke replacement work etc). I put my legs on carbon spokes this time as their more bladed shape that the steel spokes do not offer. I came across this review for Light Bicycle, very helpful but unfortunately, it does not refer too much to the carbon spoke...

The first ones have bonded inserts and compatible w/ std hubs. The second ones rely on mechanical lock and need specific hubs.
I’d stick with the popular Chinese brands such as LB, Lun, Far Sports, etc.kroem wrote:Cant find much feedback on building your own wheels with carbon spokes. Anyone bought from Deerobust, for instance?
