@mastobikes I wonder what Nextie have been cooking as they have mentions of Ti-Fi Polymer Spokes on their site, too. Not sure whether they hint at GooSynn w/o mentioning their brand name or whether that's a fourth independent spoke.

Now someone does. Me. 😅 I found a page doing just that. And lo and behold, it's from 3 days ago. so finally someone compared and compiled the pros and cons of Berd Spokes vs Pi-Rope:

Anybody knows a source comparing Berd Spokes Wheels with Pi-Rope Wheels pros and cons? Like hooked flanges vs. holes for Berd, screw in for Pi-Rope, Dyneema (Creep) vs. Vectran, nipple fastening solution, repairability etc.? Like - if you consider a fiber spoke wheel - which tech is superior and/or simply currently offers a potentially nicer / faster / more durable (bikepacking) wheel set?
