Rev x wheel stiffeners.

[Gulwing]

Hello, does anyone know how the spinergy rev x wheel stiffeners are fitted? Is it glued into place between the spokes?

Thanks

Yes ,the X Beams had double sided tape on them and fitted about midway between each pair of spokes

I couldn't find any X Beams when I recently bought a set of used wheels so I made my own carbon ones (my old career, now retired)

Oh that's cools. Iv just got some rev x's repaired and have seen that I can get some x beams 3d printed.
Double sided tape it is then, thanks

I saw a picture of some 3D printed ones and they were terrible imo , which is why I laminated my own

Iv chatted with someone about using PETG filament for 3d printing. Yes, looks stringy but it's to do with the high temperature needed to use it for printing.
I would use carbon fibre to if I could do it myself, looks neat.... and safer than without.

I did it for stiffness more than safety , but it must also make them safer I assume
