For those who have ridden Berd, maybe more those who have ridden and didn't like:
Is "Compliant" just another word for "flexy" or do they magically retain their lateral stiffness?

I personally thought they had a good balance of stiffness and compliance... definitely a noticeable difference on my Epic EVO compared to the carbon Roval Controls. That said, I'm not sure if the cons of cost/durability/maintenance are worth the improved performance and weight reduction. If I found a good deal, I'd probably put them on my Epic EVO again but I wouldn't bother on a trail or enduro bike.
Yeah Steve, I was thinking of fast tires and swapping between the Epic Evo and my Hardtail. Wouldn't be anywhere too gnarly. Your insight is perfect.
I just got a new Onyx hub for my SS, but now I realized that Onyx makes a hook/flange version, so I think I’m gonna return the one I just received, order the hook/flange version, and go with the Berd spokes. Apparently the black fades over time, so I’m going to go w/ white. Even Dan the cust. service guy at Onyx was: “do it”.
Hmmm… $93 bucks for special Berd tools.
Just ordered the spokes and 2 special tools for my hook/flange Onyx hub. I think I quadruple checked my spoke length calculations.
