Anyone know why the spokes are soldered together?

Looks like the same frame/fork Clarence I got with my 2.4 mk2 on my ex5 🙂

Is that what happens when you but 650b wheels on a 26" bike?

Nah. Needs more hydroforming, an s shaped down tube, maybe an s shaped top tube, and a calamitous quantity of linkages.

To stiffen the wheel.

Always wondered about that soldering thing. Could it make a comeback, esp with those volatile, explosive 29er wheels that people are risking their lives on?
