[QUOTE="D8K, post: 155180, member: 648"] I used to lace rims on the side during the summer. As long as the hub is the same, the spokes will be the same bend. I would recommend NOT covering your spokes because it causes dirt to become trapped and stain and corrode them even more. Alot of kids would put colored straws on their spokes and I would end up respoking their wheel. If you cannot find spokes you can have a spoke builder make you spokes, I have had to do that on a few occasions (for really old bikes). If you want colored spokes and something that won't rust or corrode, then you may want to look at powdercoating your new spokes when you get them. Stainless steel spokes and nipples are the way to go from my experience. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
