Unmagnetized spokes

Umm lol I feel like I have to do this for you people in order for nothing really it will probably still go to 💩

Here what I was told and have been proven was absolutely needed by everyone on here.

1 Year and model of bike - not really necessary but might help
2 a photo of the current tires with the size displayed
3 a photo of the front and rear brakes to show if there's any additional vertical (up or down) adjustment that can be made
4 an accurate measurement of the rear dropout (not wheel axle) - inside to inside as illustrated above.
5 your weight
6 your expected riding pattern.
7 a photo of the current shifters and front and rear derailleurs
8 a photo of the current rear sprocket cluster

1989 Schwinn tempo






185lbs

Twice a week




Now is it cool if I just ask why none of the spokes in the rear wheel stick to my magnet and all the spokes in my front wheel do?

Rear wheel likely has stainless spokes and the front has galvanized spokes (not of a stainless alloy, thus is magnetic).

I like the dig at those of us who ask for more information, you did present far more than needed for a spoke material question though Andy

He did create a lot of extra work for himself just to ask a simple question and whip out an insult, didn't he?

I have the most important opinion on BF and I Refuse to answer until you post pictures in the UV and IR spectrums and write a paper on the gravity variation in this sector.

I have spoken.

Not at those that ask but at those that complain instead of ask. Nobody ever asks before complaining.

I don't see a picture of your front derailleur.

My question was answered. With one shot. Now I'm just checking back in periodically for what the sock puppets leave me.
