For riders of a certain vintage, any mention of string spokes brings to mind John Tomac’s Tioga Disc Drive mountain bike wheel from the early nineties. With its macrame-like myriad of Kevlar spokes and transparent time-trial-style solid disc construction, it was an exotic and futuristic-looking bit of kit.
The Scribe Gravel 40 wheels are altogether more regular-looking, and were it not for the colour of the spokes, I think it would take a while for most folk to notice that they are something a bit special.
