No. It just looks stupid in my opinion. If they are primo spokes, then they suck, if you spray-painted your spokes, then I would find a different color to spraypaint them if I were you... but then again, I am not you.

Beerman doesn't like my snowmobile. I don't care, at least I can ride in the winter. My daughter will probably ride my Backtrail X3 with me in the snow.

Yep, it is a fly brake but i need a new cable so ive got tape holding some of it together, not cool. Thats why it looks haggard. I'm not even sure what spokes they are, they just came with my wheel, i know they're not Primo but they definatly havent been spraypainted . I like the look of them myself which is the only thing that matters, not anyone elses opinion.

you shouldnt have fly brakes on the seatstays; youd be better off with evolvers or something along those lines

They are probabaly better then most spokes that come stock on completes, and I'm sure you havent had a problem with your spokes have you guns? I have never snapped a spoke, and unless you are a complete sketch bag, or you get things stuck in your wheels often its pretty hard to do. There are obviously better choices like DT swiss and marwi. but the only time your going to notice which spokes are really better, which is probably a minimal difference is when you are lacing the wheel. Once it's built it should be fine.

i guess the anodizing on primo spokes make them get loose easier, but im only going by what i heard...i heard it a long time, btw.
i would rather the fly cranks. in my opinion they are designed better, and look better.
