[QUOTE="Nigel Doe, post: 99085, member: 4009"] Update: I checked with Central Wheels and they offer two black-spoke options, black chrome or chemically-blacked. They most helpfully provided the following additional information: [I]The Chemical blacking process involves immersion of the spokes in hot Sulphuric Acid. This process is used on all the Moto X Spoked wheels as used on KTM & other motorcycles. The process is very good because of its durability - the finish is satin/matt not gloss like Black Chromed spokes.[/I] Therefore there is the option for a sparkly black finish or perhaps a more sober 1930s look, as preference dictates. I'll probably get a couple of spokes in before making my selection. I also contacted Devon Rims to be told that they only offer stainless spokes. [/QUOTE]
