spokes: sapim leader black, but I think this one was to tightend.
@ sveti jebem: Black spokes are sucking chrome nipples, everyone of us has his sexual preferences.

TLS said...

yeah, sun overheats them and weakens molecular structure of material

TLS said...

I have sapim on my trials too brrr

TLS said...

tell me they are not 2.0

rogmaraton said...

Yes they are...

But, still they are black... black spokes are weaker because of the blackening procedure, they are not just powder coated, they are heated and such... if it was good for the spoke, I am shore they would treat the silver spoke the same way. Not to mention, silver spoke looks much better too. OK, gold would be also nice to match KMC chain.

I read allot about the spokes, I wanted to buy Sapim Laser, they have thinner middle section and thicker ends. They are said to stretch in the middle section and this way reduce the stress on the ends... they are lighter and last longer (tests published on Sapim site). In silver Lasers are cheaper than Leader spokes in black... sadly our dealers only have black Sapim Leather spokes and DT Champion in stock, almost everything else must be ordered...

By, the way awesome jump and photo of the day, we should keep it for few days.

I paid for it today.

I crashed into a car that came out of nowhere closing all the gaps. There was no other way than crash. I had enough time only to imagine a beautiful stewardess saying: "Brace, brace, brace!"
Everything black was fine including me in a black sweater, but my white forks bent and scramble my trail...

That happened on the way to buy a seat Tilen recommended. It was generally the worst run of my life, every possible car, dog, baby stroller and traffic sign crossed my way... and I didn't get the message. When the seat was bought and mounted it turned out to be heavily used, deformed and consequently uncomfortable. Even the ugly stitched graphics can't be removed!
