Spoke Color?
 
Aright, help me pick as I am stymied.

Black medium section rims and silver hubs. Black spokes or silver?

Do you have more black components on your bike than silver?

daft crunk 10-13-09 05:44 PM

silver.

Scrodzilla 10-13-09 06:12 PM

I would naturally go with silver as well, but it really depends on a lot of things. Do you have a pic of the bike?

adriano 10-13-09 06:18 PM

lace one flange silver and the other black.

Bike is mostly grey, black fork, headset, stem and bars. Crank is going to be the black / silver Miche combo, saddle is black, post is black at the moment.

I'm leaning towards black, but I think that makes it a little less easy to put these wheels on another frame in the future.

Seriously?

Black spokes, silver nipples. It'll make your nipples "pop" out.

All puns aside, I think this is the best answer.

Red spokes are the fastest.

Scrotze 10-13-09 08:01 PM

I think you can very well make that decision yourself.

trigger 10-13-09 08:46 PM

Ah c'mon. Yes, I will decide for myself, but I thought I'd see what other folks thought. People have posted about dumber stuff than this for sure. ;) What use is a board like this if you can't use it to oooh and aaah and obsess over dumb ****?

^I've done this. Black with silver nipples. Red spokes are NOT faster...pink ones are.

Keep in mind that black spokes are often more expensive than their silver equivalents.

This is a resurrected thread guys. I don't think the op needs any more input.
