Bicycle wheel at perpendicular to the axle and go straight to the rim, without crossing any other spokes - e.g., "cross-0". This lacing pattern can not transfer torque as efficiently as tangential lacing. Thus it is generally preferred to build a crossed-spoke wheel where torque forces, whether driving or braking, issue from the hub. Where braking is concerned, the older-style caliper devices that contact the rims to apply braking force are not affected by lacing patterns in this way because braking forces are transferred from the calipers directly to the rim, then to the tires and then to the roadway. Disc brakes,
Comparison of Direct Connect software different hubs can be supported through hub specific solutions or hub software neutral extensions using scripts/plug-ins. Comparison of Direct Connect software This article compares features and other data about client and server software for Direct Connect, a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. Direct Connect hubs are central servers to which clients connect, thus the networks are not as decentralized as Gnutella or FastTrack. Hubs provide information about the clients, as well as file-searching and chat capabilities. File transfers are done directly between clients, in true peer-to-peer fashion. Hubs often have special areas of interest. Many have requirements on the total size
