How does this work then (2nd pic is clearer)?

The combination of a big diameter hub flange and small diameter wheel rim makes it viable.
Its only radially laced on the non drive side and uses rim brakes so fine.
Edit no its not fine, its radial on the drive side ๐ฏ
Ksyriums road wheels were radially raced on the DS.
What a waste of time.
Appears to be radial both sides, not a great idea for longevity...
That's just plain stupid.
I do hate those machines, and all the anoraks that own them.
edit.. Bromptons that is.. The Rohloff owners are nice, in an eccentric professorly kind of way.
Should have gone for the flat bar version (I've got one) - plenty of room for a shifter.
I suppose I shouldn't ask, but, well, why?
Can't imagine radial on that small a wheel will be low stress, and that's one hell of a hub shell to crack, cost-wise.
