Here is a pic of mine with the Bykas black spoke wrap

 

Just ordered a set from dk customs, I'm assuming you need to take the wheels off to put the wraps on?

 

I didn't, I just put the bike up on the lift and did them one by one, the rear tire is harder to do but can be done

 

Received mine today, took about an hour and a half.
Did it on the lift.
I think they look OK , better than the aging spokes,
A bit pricy for what you get.

 

Did you take off the back wheel? I was able to do my front wheel with no problem but once I got about 3 on the back wheel I said, I refuse to take the skin off of my hands.

 

Did it while the wheel was on. Use gloves a pry bar with rubber cushion to fit them in.
When I was done I torqued the spokes to 55 inch pounds with a spoke torque wrench.
It needed it.
I used spray wax cleaner to help protect and slide them on along with a hose removal tool to open the ends of the wraps to install.

 

Who has run them for mor then a year? do they hold up ok with time?

 

Mine are year and half old and yes, no issues at all.

 

Mine look the same as the day I installed them last winter; I wax the spoke wraps when I do the paint on the bike. They've not moved, discolored, or show any wear and tear at all and I had a great season of some long miles... no regrets

 

what does the spokes look like under the wrap ?
