I have a powder coating job that i am doing for a customer. I have powder coated and assembled / trued wheels before but not the fat spokes. I have read the posts about these loosing air and he is fine running a tube. My question is before i start disssembling the wheel and ruin it could some one shed some light on how these are assembled. particularly how the spokes attach to the hub. Are they threaded in with lock tight, or do they have a bent end that hooks the hub like traditional spokes. pics would be handy if any one has some of these wheels disassembled. thanks in advance

 

Nobody has an answer to this?

 

It appears that they thread into the hub, here's some pics. Good luck.
