Recently I talked to a wheel builder about using black spokes, and he told me they don't build with black because they have found them weaker than normal spokes. Any truth in this? I think it's BS.

The only coloured spokes I have ever seen...besides black....are Ti dye spokes. Not very good imho.

Dood. I totally need rasta spokes and nipple to match my King headset and Kooka cranks. That would be gnarly.
