I have a Cotic roadrat, and the stock 700c wheels came with what strike me as beefy, thick spokes – always assumed these were just cheap, non-butted spokes, but I dropped a mate’s Giant roadbike (admittedly not a hugely expensive one) to the shop earlier, and his spokes were similar (nothign fancy like bladed, just thickish) Are thicker spokes a road norm?
