I know this but if you buckle the wheel then if the spoke is stronger the chances of buckling is reduced . Why the misunderstanding ?!!!

By stronger I meant stronger to support the wheel from buckling (or at least buckling less) . You misunderstand me .

How are objects under tension supporting the hub from below?
Please explain that to us.

They’d be pulling the hub down, not pushing it up. It’s under tension, remember?

I'm talking about when the hub is under load

The spokes at the bottom of the wheel are still under tension. If not, you have bigger problems to worry about than spoke material.

Well of course they are but not as much as from above the hub . We have gone off slightly from my original point which is a metal spoke will be stronger and support the wheel better from buckling (lateral stiffness) . Anyhow been good talking to you .
Actually this is wrong because spokes do nothing of the sort. It is nothing more than tension pulling on the rim at the angles from hub flanges. All lateral stiffness and strength comes from the rim once tension os applied.

Their site is Indice - Dream Bikes - Bike Jewellery I bought a lot of stuff from them already and I can say they sell some exotic italian parts for very good prices IMO. The 860g wheelset is not on their site yet but you can find extensive material about it on their facebook page.

With these sorts of 'facts' at your disposal, and your willingness to fling them around, I can see you being promoted to forum admin ASAP.

The nipple will simply push out of the hole in the rim if the spoke on the opposite side of the wheel loses it's tension!
we save weight compared to the above-mentioned manufacturers by using a double spoke instead of two individual spokes, ie we guide the spoke from the rim over the hub back to the rim. This saves two end connections and these end connections bring the most weight.
Yes, spokes are lighter but how much weigh the specific hubs?
