So, I emailed the seller bikeisland-com for some specs on the Vuelta fixed gear wheelsets (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-TRACK-ROAD-BIKE-FIXED-GEAR-WHEELSET-SS-WHEELS_W0QQitemZ170068712820QQihZ007QQcategoryZ58099QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)you have all seen on eBay or on their Bikeisland.com website (http://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_STOR20.cgi?Action=Details&ProdID=548). Here's the reply I got:


Hello and thanks for your interest in our wheel sets. The hubs, cog and lock ring are made by Joytech and branded Vuelta XRP. The spokes are stainless but I have no idea who made them. They are straight gauge, not butted.
The Vuelta warranty is for 2 years against defects. Typically, stripped parts are not covered by warranties but we'll examine each claim on a case by case basis. Any warranty claims can go thru us or Vuelta. For more info on the warranty visit www.vueltausa.com (http://www.vueltausa.com)


Anyone here feeling lucky?

Not when Joytech is involved.

What can the spokes be if they are not straight-gaged or butted? Magical?

Ha, I obviously read that completely wrong.
