If you laced your wheel with twisted spokes, you need to keep an eye on the spokes for the first few rides. The twisted portion of the spokes makes for some harmonics that can loosen the spokes up.

I want new spokes but **** they're expensive for what they are. I know I know, safety first but they're still a coat hanger piece of metal. Lol

I have a 2012 Street Bob and laced my hub to the Jireh hoop last night. My hub has 40 spokes. The bummer is I scratched the hoop so tearing it apart and back to get coated it goes.

Oh really. You think I counted wrong...more than once. Lol.

I counted on the hub and on the stock wheel. I'm stumped right now.

I see you posted Buchanans laced your wheel up. Did you end up using stock spokes or did you get Buchanans to use theirs?
