Spokes?
Hi, How much would it cost to buy 44 white spokes?...nothing fancy just white spokes. Would I be able to switch the spokes myself or do I need to take it to my LBS? Any price guesses if that is the case?

Re: Spokes?
Definetly white! So you are saying that it would cost around 50 dollars to put the spokes in the wheel? Plus the cost of each spoke/nipple?

$50 labor to lace and 'build' the wheel, true, round, dish and tension, plus the cost of the spokes. Altho I have never seen white spokes, Silver and black but not white. |

Re: Spokes?
Purely because it would increase the appearance of my bike a lot. I am probably not going to have this process done since it would probably cost around 75 dollars at least. Did you mean 50 dollars per wheel or 50 per wheel set?
