Reply to "17 spoke wheels--Photos added"

Because 17 spokes are correct for certain prototypes.  Tom Mix would solder 17 individual spokes together over an aluminum jig when the job called for it.

 

I was referring to the prototype when I asked why would a designer would use 17 spokes.

15 spokes equals 24 degree--16 spokes equals 22.5 degrees -- 18 spokes equals 20 degrees---all easy measures.

17 spokes is not an easy measure of 360 degrees---so I was asking why choose that?
