So if the spokes need re-tightening I have to send them back to them?

Mine have never needed tightening, but if you tighten the spokes ti is thought that it will break the seal of the silicone.

I bought my Ride Wrights from the DR.V and always get the best deals are quick shipping. I went with the sealed spokes and poweder coated black have not had any problems what so ever with them. The poweder coating is top notch! My rims are going on 2 1/2 years old and the black spokes look just as good as the day I recieved them from the DR.V

I just ordered a set for my wifes 48 pics coming soon! Thanks Drew for the great deals! I need to stop buying stuff for my bikes!!!

I talked to these guys when they were at the Milwaukee rally last summer. Truly first class people. I'm fixing to get a set soon. Just so many choices on colors and styles. Got to get my Shotgun Shock system installed my Fatboy first! Then on to wheels and saddlebags. Dr. V I'll be sure to order them from you! As I did with the Shotgun!

Damn those look good...

Truckbizz has black spokes with chrome rims. I'll get some better pics on Sunday if he rides that bike.
