Just one question though. I have a hard enough time keeping my 40 spokes clean. How the hell do you keep anything more than that clean? My rear wheel is a little difficult, even when the bike is on a lift. I cant imagine cleaning those!
Exactly the same thing I was thinking. Whew, too much to clean! But they look really good on your bike.

Actually i dont think the wheels are much harder to clean than the standard ones.Maybe because the spokes are radial and dont criss-cross.Those damn whitewalls are a pain to keep clean but got new brakes on the way so we will see if the new pads make a difference.

Anyway thanks for the comments.
