Hey everyone, I'm trying to help a friend find replacement black spokes for her stock deluxe wheels. Where would be the best place to check out?

 

Check out www.retrocycle.com
Let them know the year and model so they get the right length. If they don't have Black available they can get them anodized or parkerized, depending on the look you are going for. Powdercoating probably isn't going to last too well if the spokes cross each other and touch.

Are you or your friend going to lace these? It seems like something that takes a lot of experience...

 

thanks gonna check them out, there gonna get laced professionally

 

Jo PC'ing will work... Ty at Hi-Tech did my rims and you know I romp on them pretty hard... and so far not one problem with them.

Let me know when you're working this week I'll bring the rocker bag by so you can check it out. Aloha

 

It takes more patience than it does experience. It can get frustrating.

 

i powdercoated the whole rim that came on my nitetrain before switching to ridewright. didnt bother respoking; did the whole thing black and it came out fine

 

Try Black Bike [blackbikewheels@aol.com] or Dave [dave@americanclassicmotors.net]

 

Coated spokes work fine. Ive had my Black Bike Wheels for several years and not a single chip where the spokes cross.

 

we powder spokes all the time hold up and look great! hell we do a bunch of dirtbike wheels, if those psokes can handle it yours will be fine

here is one of my fav's
