I have a Terra-fied Strada. It still has the alloy wheels and these have served me pretty well even over old, very rocky, wagon roads. Yet, I've read and seen pictures of folks who have broken alloy wheels and lamented they didn't have spoke wheels -- so it got me thinking:
Would switching to the spoke wheels provide any noticeable benefit when off-road? Better chance of riding away from a undesirable solid landing?
Maybe lighter steering? I was also thinking, having both options would allow me to switch the wheel/tires as desired depending upon season or what is coming up and save wearing out my off-road tires when commuting.
Let the opinions flow and the flames begin!
