Aerospoke wheels?

Question

is there any aerospoke wheels for a cyclocross bikes

and is it possible to make a fixed gear cyclocross bike?

Answer 1

Cyclocross wheels need to be really strong, and aero spokes would limit that. This isn't to say that one couldn't build strong wheels, just that they wouldn't be as strong as their round spoke counterparts.

A fixed gear cyclocross bike would be like having a single speed Jeep. Keep in mind what a cyclocross bike is used for and consider the most efficient setup.

Answer 2

I don't see any reason why you couldn't use an aerospoked  wheel for a cyclocross bike, I don't think there would be an advantage to it, most of the courses are short with not much open space for them to be effective.

I would also be concerned about the edges on aerospokes.  The dynamics of cyclocross, not that I get my hands or arms through the wheels, but spinning aerospoked wheels would hurt alot more if you did happend to put a finger, hand or arm near them.

And I don't see any reason you couldn't set on up as a fixed gear, but i think it would make mounting and dismounting at obstacles a bit tricky.

That's my two cents. . .

Now, get out and ride!.
