wheelset input - king sour apple content!
well ebay strikes again, random latenight "buy it now" fever got me with these.



they are a 24/24 drilling, and i'm going to purpose these wheels for my everyday road wheels. buzzz buzzz

i'm either going with my favorite rims to build with, archetypes, or pacenti forza rims. black.

wheelsmith spokes.

now the big question: black or silver spokes???

oh the anguish!

Unless the bike has nothing else silver on it I'd go with silver spokes and nips with the black rims.

Silver without question.

Black spokes should only be permissible with black hubs. I'm sure it's in the rules somewhere.

If it were me, I would do silver spokes and hard ano rims

Sliver spokes with the grey archetype rims would like nice. They grey softens the look of the rim enough that it would blend nicely with the green.

I'm no fan of green, but those are really sweet. I'd make an exception for those.
I like black spokes, so that'd be my vote, but you're not going to go wrong with either.
