Wheel spokes

#1 PostAuthor: Floyd » Mon Jun 02, 2025 11:48 am

Hi all,
Does anyone know if you can get stainless steel spokes with gold coloured nipples for a Z1? I know Z Power does the zinc spokes, and stainless with stainless nipples are available, but I would prefer stainless but with the gold nipples just for the looks.
Cheers

I’d message one of the wheel building companies

Hagen or CWA for example

You can buy gold nipples on their own from a few places...why does the sound creepier than it should. :blush

Gold nipples - sounds a bit kinky, to my sad mind.
