Ahhhh, now that's good to know. Maybe not such a good idea unless I plan on
just keeping the bike in the living room.

Hi AJ,

One of the benefits of a spoked wheel (as opposed to solid or cast
spoke-type) is that the spoked wheels are able to flex and absorb shock
a lot more than the cast wheels. That is one of the reasons they are
still used today on moto-cross and dual-sport bikes.
