Coloured Spokes..whadda ya think?
« on: September 16, 2009, 04:03 AM »
Still deciding on if i will use these, have a few blue bits laying around and am thinking i may slap them on the JMC.

Where do you stand on coloured spokes?
I dont mind coloured nips, but are the spokes over the top?

I can not remember many peeps racing bitd with coloures spokes, anyways dont hold back, tell me what you think?

Never been a massive fan of coloured spokes on old school bikes.  I think that it is because when a wheel is all one colour it looks as though it was bought from Toys R Us and when people use different coloured spokes on the same wheel it looks like a clowns bike.

I don't think it looks that bad at all. All of these builds are personal preference anyway if you're happy with it, go for it...  :daumenhoch:
