TI spokes according to my LBS have to be frequently adjusted due to the stretching nature of TI. But the biggest problem I see with TI spokes is the weight savings is not that real when compared to DT Revolution spokes. A set of 32 TI spokes weigh 145 grams while a set of Revolution weigh 157, so in other words your going to spend $1.50 more per spoke or $48 more per 32 spokes just to lose 12 grams? Thats a very expensive 12 grams if you ask me.
