Callum-Luvs-Trials Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Do you want to use for front or the back wheel.Front my past experience I believe you can use them on the front wheel but not on the back, because they are not that strong.I would suggest for the back wheel just geeting coloured nipples and double buted black spokes.Also get somone who can build a wheel good and strong.(Looks uber pimp.)

Adam-Griffin Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Why not just buy some normal spokes and spray them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel C Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 as ive heard becose there anodized they get weaker but they should be ok in the front, the only other thing you can do is a)spray the back onesb)forget about it and stick with black or silver0r c buy some and try it.

Alex Dark Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 as ive heard becose there anodized they get weaker but they should be ok in the front, the only other thing you can do is a)spray the back ones - stainless spokes, so the paint would just flake offb)forget about it and stick with black or silver - best option to be honest0r c buy some and try it. - not worth it...alloy's so much weaker than steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyboy Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I would stick with black or silver, all this coloured stuff often ruins the look of a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I don't think they anodize spokes. And strength difference in coloured spokes isn't as great as the difference between double butted and regular butted spokes.Don't hold me to any of that though.
